Bouncy as they come, the crowd goes crazy and Jerry just sounds like he's having fun

C. C. Rider

Hampton Coliseum

Beefy C.C. Rider, Brent laying on the hammond, a listenable slide solo by Bobby, all tied together with some Phil Bombs

Out of Hell in a Bucket, this one is fueled by Brent dancing all over the Hammond. HIGH energy

Epic as ever. Jerry shred-fest, Bobby sending it on the vocals, Brent laying on the hammond. They bring it down before one more eruption to end it.

Jerry low in the mix but is ripping it up, Keith really shines in this one, doesn’t miss a note

Dancin' in the Streets
April 15, 1970
Winterland Arena

Full steam ahead! Full of energy and has a pretty tighten up jam on the comedown

Winterland Arena

This hit today. Like a truck. Loving the latin-esque Santana vamp jam in between the drum breaks. Stellar ripping by the whole band

Philip Lesh. Nuff sed
Let Me Sing Your Blues Away

William and Mary College Hall

I wish they played this one as a late first-set tune more often. The sax by Martin Fierro is killer on this one. Just a really tight version

The Phil solo out of Dark Star is necessary to listen to in order to not get jump-scared by the massive bombs he lays to get this Dew started up...absolute monsters
