The Dead final 4 European shows in London setlists. Notice the shuffling of the setlist. One extraordinary thing that I really admire about the Dead was their extended run at venues. They did this throughout their history. Yet night after night, they would go onstage and just change the setlist at will. Yes there was a lot of noodling but these musicians came to play and play long and hard.
