All New Minglewood Blues
Rippin' version at a critical time....
4
Bird Song
Super loose in the joints and fun. They seem to be searching for the '71 sound throughout the run here but I like this one.
3
Good Lovin'
No Pig rap or sonic dose of the clap like others from the era, a a glorious slow-boiling jam over 18 minutes well worth the listen.
4
Turn On Your Love Light
The last 35 min of this show are just beautiful. From NFA till the end it's just smooth sailing goddamned good times Grateful Dead. Enjoy.
2
Hard to Handle
Solid version, deserves a listen for sure.
5
Bertha
Love how this one starts Phil up in the mix and then Jer gets rawish at the end...
4
Sugar Magnolia
Muscular tight sound and jam!
5
New Minglewood Blues
Jerry rips this song a new one. Hard to believe that this version isn't already here!
2
Truckin'
Kicks off a blistering finale of NFA-GDTRFB-NFA-Lovelight!
2
King Bee
Blue Dead or Grateful Blues… either way, Jerry and Pigpen were master blues men.

Playin' In The Band
Great for Toddler-Heads at under 5 minutes, with quirky urgency, one of the shortest ever…

Not Fade Away
this one into GDTRFB is a trip!
