I used to love 'bama openers. I think the Dead may have liked Maine just a bit.

It's amazing to think that in a matter of only 10 days the Dead produced 3 of their most mind -numbing jams. This one being maybe the best.

Jai-Alai Fronton

Simply one of the best sequences ever. Phil's bass during the Spanish jam is the sound that acid makes.

Freedom Hall

Keith's awesome here but Bobby's guitar makes this one for me.
Bird Song

Pacific Coliseum

Definitely a Dark Star jam space. So very excellent.

Not sure what they did during d/s but they came back with razor focus.
