Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir and Phil Lesh were leading a group that could turn any song into an open road, and the St. Louis audience got one of those nights. This excerpt was issued on vinyl in 2021, shortly before the complete show appeared in a larger archival set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe four sides trace a single musical arc. Playing in the Band opens things, soon dissolving into a drum interlude before spilling into Dark Star, which stretches across two full sides as the band drifts from delicate, spacious passages into dense, exploratory jamming. It then gives way to Morning Dew, one of Garcia's most moving vocal showcases, before the band circles back to Playing in the Band to close the loop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not a greatest hits set, it is pure exploration, the kind of deep listening experience the Dead were famous for. Put it on, settle in, and follow wherever it goes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57439074877745,"sku":"081227878849","price":55.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Grateful_Dead-Light_Into_Ashes_Fox_Theatre_St_Louis_MO_2LP_Silver.jpg?v=1794157066","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/grateful-dead-light-into-ashes-fox-theatre-st-louis-mo-10-18-72-2lp","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
