Great vocals from Bobby (minus the ending of this song, which is, you know lol) Solid one

This here's kinda a get-down song, I must admit.

Bouncy little Minglewood. Some neat runs by Garcia. His tone is interesting.

Throwing Stones

Hampton Coliseum

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

Shoreline Amphitheatre

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

Fillmore West

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.
