Sandwiched between the Who and Jimi Hendrix the Dead were still able to rock out a tasty festival-sized Viola Lee Blues at this legendary event.

Serious mindbender here. The faster we go, the rounder we get.

The Austin Municipal Auditorium

High-energy, rough and ready, Bill's kick drum sounds meaty here, Keith's piano sounds very full and present and perfect at times, Bob's guitar grinds neatly right in between...
Cumberland Blues
Sept. 20, 1974
Palais Des Sports

Really it's just the easy bouncing vibe that shines here. Great for a first set opener. The intro is actually not "super long", really only 40 seconds, but still nice. My copy sounds much better than this archive link...EQ recommended...

Yeah, at one point you can tell Garcia totally launches this jam into overdrive hyperspace. Epic!!
