Blues For Allah
June 17, 1975
Winterland Arena
Long, stretched out great jamming. Serious "Stronger than Dirt" in the middle of it all. Beautiful.

Playin' In The Band

Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center
Surrounds a great China Doll, very psychedelic in places, marimba madness and tripped out phasing. Greatness from a not-so-great year.

Not usually an 80's fan, but this one is spooky, mysterious and trippy. Inside a Playin' sandwich that's pretty ripping for the late date, too.

Lot's of fast fun, and just slightly out of control. Seems they're hanging on for dear life. Enjoy!

Just so good. Smooth, great vocals. Jerry's crystal clear and ripping throughout.

Uncle John's Band
Feb. 11, 1970
Fillmore East
What the '70 Dead sound is all about: From an hour-long at times frantic and at all time intensely rocking Dark Star>Love Light jam session with special guests to a sweet and lovely acoustic three-part harmony UJB in a matter of minutes. Their well was just so incredibly deep.
Cumberland Blues

Fillmore East
Deserves much more love. The whole show has a crackling electricity to it. They're dialed way in and amped way up. Brilliant from start to finish.
Not Fade Away
Feb. 11, 1970
Fillmore East
I'd vote for this one again and again if allowed to. Like high-tension wires, it crackles and jumps. The mix is high on the treble end and slightly tinny, but this just adds to the adrenalin rush.
Dire Wolf
Feb. 11, 1970
Fillmore East
Follows a high-voltage and dangerous TOO>Cryptical, once again showing the turn-on-a-dime stylistic breadth of our boys here. From psychedelic super-rush to a sweet country ditty (about paranoia) in one clean sweep.
Franklin's Tower
Oct. 9, 1976
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium
Everything I look for in a Franklin's. It was always the mark of a great show for me when they broke this out. This one does not disappoint.
