They attack this one with a rare level of energy and precision. Nice showcase for Pig on Organ too.

Keith and Bobby absolutely crush it, setting up a white hot solo from Jerry to kick off a brilliant show.

Looks Like Rain
March 16, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

Loose and dreamy, quintessential '73 Dead.
New Potato Caboose
June 8, 1969
Fillmore West

Filthy in the best possible way. Top-shelf Dead
He Was A Friend of Mine
June 8, 1969
Fillmore West

Easily the best version. Tight, soulful vocals followed by an extremely tasteful Garcia solo accompanied by some tasty work from Weir/Lesh. Even TC's lines hit. Get hip to it.
Dancin' in the Streets
June 8, 1969
Fillmore West

Insanely underrated version. Hell I'd go so far as to say this is essential Dead. Incredible group improv.
Not Fade Away

Providence Civic Center

You can hear Jerry writing the foundation of West LA mid Jam. He repeats a figure far more times than he usually does, but for good cause. Aside from the West LA seedlings, Weir is making creative contributions from beginning to end, including some halfway decent slide work. Top-shelf version.
