Sandwiched between the Who and Jimi Hendrix the Dead were still able to rock out a tasty festival-sized Viola Lee Blues at this legendary event.

Serious mindbender here. The faster we go, the rounder we get.

Nobody's Fault But Mine

Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

Jerry sings this one with near desperation; from Truckin into the Other One with a sick jam this show just keeps on giving...

Beautiful soaring solo from Garcia and Brent also stands out in this ensemble gem...

Playin' In The Band
Sept. 11, 1974
Alexandra Palace

The expanded articulation and nuanced interplay are gorgeous. The flow of the jam never really slows down or runs out of ideas. This Playin' is a marathon of jazzy jamming brilliance. One of the best of the '74, maybe one of the best all-time...
Playin' In The Band
Nov. 15, 1972
Oklahoma City Music Hall

This is a balls out powerhouse performance that turns the amps up to 11, but never loses it's focus. Billy is driving this jam, but Phil and Jerry really keep the fire burning. A 1/2 hour of next level. An absolute Hall of Fame PITB!
High Time
Feb. 17, 1979
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Catches the High Time vibe just right, just what I needed right now...
Eyes Of The World
June 10, 1990
Cal Expo

Nice choice! Everybody really shines and comes together for a great performance on this one...
