November 2nd's Answer "High Time" 5.17.77 University of Alabama Coliseum, Tuscaloosa, AL: This was the first of only three versions of "High Time" played in 1977, followed by none in 1978.

November 7th's Answer "Samson And Delilah" 4.5.88 Hartford Civic Center, Hartford, CT:This was the third night of a three night run in Hartford.

November 8th's Answer "Here Comes Sunshine" 11.17.73 UCLA: From the upcoming Dave's Picks Vol. 5, this is widely considered one of the top 3 versions of "Here Comes Sunshine" ever played (along with the version from 12/19/73 aka Dick's Picks Vol. 1. November 9th's Answer "Scarlet Begonias> Fire On The Mountain" 7.31.82 Manor Downs, Austin, TX:This mighty fine show at Manor Downs featured loads of great songs, and great performances of great songs, including this "Scarlet>Fire".

November 11th's Answer "Jam" 3.25.91 Knickerbocker Arena, Albany, NY: This is a somewhat rare jam that follows outside of the frame another song. It comes out of "Spoonful," and hints at a few musical themes. While not quite the jam level of the one played at the same venue a year-and-a-day prior, it's still very interesting. November 12th's Answer "Ramble On Rose" 12.19.73 Curtis Hixon Covention Hall, Tampa, FL: This is an "outtake" from Dick's Picks Vol. 1, a terrific release that features the best music of a great show on two CDs. The remaining material, though, as demonstrated by this "Ramble On Rose," is also excellent. November 13th's Answer "Shakedown Street" 12.31.89 Oakland Coliseum Arena, Oakland, CA: This is a rare set-closing "Shakedown Street" from the New Year's Eve 1989-1990 show.

November 16th's Answer "Dark Star" 10.20.68 Greek Theatre, Berkeley:By late 1968, "Dark Star" had developed into the form it would maintain throughout 1969, featuring long, pyschedelic passages. Later in 1969 into 1970, "Dark Star" often headed into more melodic territory. November 17th's Answer "Let It Grow>Deal" 2.28.81:A great run of shows in Chicago to open the Grateful Dead's 1981 performing year was filled with exceptional music. There is a heck of a lot of excellent music in 1981 start-to-finish. November 18th's Answer "The Wheel" 4.29.77 Palladium, NYC:This is the first of a five night run at the Palladium in New York, previously known as the Academy Of Music.

November 19th's Answer "Bird Song" 10.2.72 Springfield Civic Center Arena, Springfield, MA:"Bird Song" in late 1972 was a spectacular first set jam vehicle, to add to the other first set exploratory song, "Playing In The Band."

November 20th's Answer "Playing In The Band" 11.30.80 Fox Theatre, Atlanta, GA: One of the longest-tenured, most-played songs in the Grateful Dead's reportoire, "Playing in the Band" was a launching pad for some of the finest jams in the band's career.

November 23rd's Answer "Brokedown Palace" 12.7.71 Felt Forum, NYC:From the final night of a four night stand at the Felt Forum in New York (the ground-level theater below Madison Square Garden).

Sometimes before "Drums", sometimes after, and in this extra-rare position as an opener.

November 28th's Answer "Passenger" 5.26.77 Baltimore Civic Center, Baltimore, MD:This is from the penultimate show of the majestic Spring Tour of 1977, a really fine show wedged between 5/25/77 (Dave's Picks 1) and 5/28/77 (To Terrapin).
