Any Sugar Mags this late in the Dead's career is a Phil showcase for all I care, and this is no different. Play it, Lesh! Makes me wanna dance.

Certainly no snoozer. Head-spinning jamming toward the end of the middle jam. Big effort from all.

Drums on fire!!! This is also one of the few songs that lends itself well to the midi

Listen to those drums swing! Above average slide fun from the band, particularly Garcia.

Drums are on fire this show, starting here. Fun one. Love the vox at the "All night" part. Is that Mr. Welnick? Love it!

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

Donna on them vocals :D
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

The Mosque

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!!!
