coming in second all day long! and my wife's yelling at me too!

Good call guys. 

Thank you.

She's yelling at me because I'm sitting here playing this great Dylan song called My Wife's Home Town. 
"State gone broke, the county's dry Don't be lookin' at me with that evil eye Keep on walking, don't be hanging around I'm tellin you again that hell's my wife's home town...

 

Two interesting things I learned from that answer and some googling:

The Dead were still into using "electronic" sounds and cutting edge technologies on that record (based on Lagin's appearance and the use of a lyricon  -- the lyricon was basically a woodwind  linked to a synthesizer, played by Tom Scott who was credited on the album).

Lagin released an album in 2016 with Barry Sless on petal steel.

  

hey, and Ned's birthday is March 17..Happy Birthday Ned

No travis bean 6-17-75? That looks like wolf

Yes on Wolf.

I love that "set".

I see now its 3-23-75.

 

Dylan and Neil Young together that day as well as others 

hey, and Ned's birthday is March 17..Happy Birthday Ned

Was it normal for the band to dress nicely during this time or were they dressed to impress here because of the SNACK people?  

Dead played before noon (show started at 9am and they were the third act), so maybe they were still wearing the clothes from the night before (and it was probably a bit chilly).

and they were performing . . . . . .  . .

 

 

 

Blues for Allah >>>>> Stronger than Dirt.   Best version ever.

Some weird shit played that day. No one had ever heard it before. I wonder how many in that huge crowd walked out saying, "Damn the Dead sucked. They just fucked around with some weird shit. They didn't even play Truckin'!"

But in retrospect, all these years later, knowing what we know now, listen to that weird shit and tell me they weren't the greatest band there ever was.

No lyrics on this B4A so 8-13-75 remains the best one. But I do love this version. 

Band Beyond Description 'bonus disck' has the whole set (minus the encore) officially released.
