Comes out of a magical Mardi Gras parade. The band's on point. Good energy. They do flop the ending chant lol. I blame Healy's obnoxious messin around

Good vocals and searing, sharp guitar work from Garcia. Bobby's on point. Said it, say it again. I love '87 Dead. Good jump into Throwing Stones

Obnoxiously heavy keys, but it's okay. Nothing can take away the joy I feel from hearing Garcia sing this song. Solid one.

Dark Star
Oct. 18, 1974
Winterland Arena

Six years into listening to this tune played at different venues across every year and I don't know that I've heard a Dark Star that is bigger or more grand than this one. Those first 7 minutes or so are truly something otherworldly. Every other factor aside (I'm not saying this is the best DS), this one, for me, takes the cake in specific terms of "bigness." This one is gargantuan. No, I don't have anything quantifiable to back this up. Just a feeling. Utterly conjectural. I like how MiTfan3^ says it feels like the last one. It does. In fact, it starts to feel like the last thing. Ever.

One of the best. The coolest part is when Keith starts laying down that insanely jazzy riff about 8 minutes in so delicately. Wonderful

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Excellent Scarlet, quintessential fire, hypnotically powerful stuff from Donna & Garcia in the transition. An essential Scarlet Fire to be sure.

Oh wow oh wow. This may be my new favorite. It has every little thing I could ask for. Keith comes in beautifully. Weir is inspired. Garcia sounds great. Country rocking stuff. What a good one. BIG upvote!!!
