Very energetic version from a period when that wasn't a given.

A surprisingly powerful version, JG very passionate and on-top of it. Especially given it had to follow a LWTGH which fizzled into nothing.

Very powerful Bobby on this one: his acoustic pairs nicely with strong vocals. And great support from the band & Hornsby as well.

Fillmore Auditorium
Incredible high-octane version.
Midnight Hour

Fillmore Auditorium
For my money this is *the* version of Midnight Hour, and also encapsulates the great spirit of the Acid Test-era Dead.
The Music Never Stopped

Hershey Park Stadium
Also surprised that this doesn't have more votes. When I was getting into tape trading I always used to hear this one touted as the "best Music ever," like it was a foregone conclusion.
Comes A Time

Hershey Park Stadium
Great version: emotional, and unexpected in the first set out of Bird Song.

Yes, it's a unique show! Right before this one of the kids yells out "Rock n Roll!" Garcia responds, "Well, this is kind of like rock n roll..."
