[4] Light Into Ashes blogger describes this MLB jam: "They ease into this one a little uncertainly, so it's a rather loose and playful version, not as emotive. Garcia plays a waspy slide while Godchaux clatters around on the Fender Rhodes, and they segue smoothly into Wharf Rat." I'd also add that this one has a "bluesy" feel to it, following up on the Nobody's Fautl Jam theme.

Notes
  • kazart: Dead Stage Banter Part 1
  • There's a "Streets of Cairo" tease/quote from Bob about 2/3 of the way into the "Nobody's Fault" jam as tracked on the official release.
  • gratefulseconds: A Tale of Two Playgrounds: Grateful Dead Rock 35,000 Over 1973 and 1974 in Des Moines, Iowa
  • The rarely used Roland synth played throughout this show is by Keith, not Ned as has been speculated, per Jesse Jarnow. "It appears for the longest duration in the Playing In The Band jam, but a few other brief appearances, specifically whooshes under the 1st verse of Tennessee Jed, a faux-clav like sound on Me and My Uncle, briefly a few times during the verses to Truckin’, and a brief burp in Eyes."
