U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)

McArthur Court, U of Oregon

Smokin' encore. You know the playing was hot when even this is a scorcher.

Smokin little number boosts the second set.

New Minglewood Blues

Bobby seems on this whole night, and Jerry's tone is unreal.

Surprised not to find this here.

One of the first Dead songs I ever heard way back in the day. Kicks off a raging Set II.

Playin' In The Band

Mine too. I'd go so far as to say f the comparisons– good is good, and the band wasn't trying to recreate their earlier sound, but create a new one each time. There's some stellar interplay here, and the recording quality is fantastic. Also the ending section and transition into "Drums" is quite lovely.

I've added mine. Nice contributions from Brent.

Both Brent and Jerry throw down some great solos here. Seriously good version!
