Ballad of a Thin Man
March 27, 1988
Hampton Coliseum

Why on Earth did they only play this twice? Bobby nails it on this version.
Caution
Feb. 14, 1968
Carousel Ballroom

Hard to believe this version is ranked so low!
The Eleven
Oct. 12, 1968
Avalon Ballroom

The band is so tight that it’s hard to believe that this track was still a relatively new part of their repertoire. The Dead’s playing in 1968 is absolutely ferocious and beautiful.
