Hot one!! Brent lays down some nice stuff, Bobby’s slide is… a thing. Then Garcia puts in some work!

Weir insists it’s time for another cowboy song. “This one rose straight to the top of the charts, of course we didn’t do it” great, consistent one

Donna lets out the most insane scream I’ve ever heard and the crowd goes wild lol. Fun one with harmonica action

One of those “surprised not to see this here” moments. A short, less soaring one than many this period, but fun nonetheless

Throwing Stones

Hampton Coliseum

They really can’t seem to find the groove here IMO. Takes away a lot of the draw for me

Yeah, I mean, not a great tune. Certainly different. Maybe a younger, less mature brother of Throwing Stones. Much more "on the nose" than we're used to with Dead tunes. I do love that Brent truly had his space to write and perform his own stuff with them though when there were some real artistic powerhouses in that crew. I understand Brent and Barlow wrote the lyrics. I wonder who put the music down? That's really the bigger issue with the song. The material could have improved if it danced around the music a bit more, but it was just too on the nose.

Garcia’s voice lends itself so perfectly here

Caution

God I love Pigpen. Was also caught off guard by that PITB riff in here in 1969. Need to do more digging into how that tune formed.
