Grateful Dead

This early Dick's Picks volume features a complete show anchored by a second set that is in essence one big medley that begins with "Uncle John's Band" and ends with it two hours later, with a supercharged "The Other One" and the first appearance of "Brokedown Palace" in two years among many high points in between. Set One boasts a Jerry Garcia-led rendition of "Alabama Getaway" four months before it appeared on record and a vocal by Bob Weir on "Looks Like Rain" leading to a spirited, set-closing "The Promised Land." And throughout it all you'll hear Brent Mydland serving notice in one of his first shows with the band that he was up to the task of replacing Keith Godchaux.
