Why isn't this rager on here yet?! Maybe not as long as some, but full of that early Dead energy that we love so much!

I was there. A beautiful, hot SoCal afternoon on a soccer field...so many firsts for me at this show. H>S>F was a little rough, but still satisfied...

I had forgotten how hard Jerry goes off at the end of this one, and I was there!

This one is sweet. Jerry doesn't nail all the lyrics perfectly, but he was able to put this song over emotionally so much better by this point. Really nice solo, too. Everybody's on board.

This one is beautiful. Perfect tempo, extraordinary bridge/solo, tight harmonies...a debut that just nails it.
