Underrated show here, apparently. This is a good version from an excellent show.

Starting to be a little disco-inflected, but none the worse for it; Garcia is firing away...

Really solid version; about as good as it gets

Rather surprising this hasn't been submitted, this show seeks a bit underrated in general. Garcia gets majorly vicious here.

As good as it gets, with powerful post-"Keep us on the run" break

Wow this never stood out (I was there, and heard it a few times since) but Jerry really gets down to business on that last solo
Playin' In The Band

Capitol Theatre

Wonderful. There's something so fluid and restrained about this era, and even the spooky stuff is kind of buttoned-down in a way; the clarity and precision of it all is its own kind of trip...

Man, Garcia is smooth and fluid and masterful here, what a great version
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Capitol Theatre

Why is this site so buggy? I get 'Bad Gateway' all the time. Anyway, I really, really love this Slipknot!, which has a mysterious power. Franklin's is indeed pretty perfect (although HOTW seems a bit sleepy)
