Playin' In The Band

McGaw Memorial Hall - Northwestern University

A Dew>Playin'>UJB>Playin' jam of outrageous power, starting one of the great months in the band's history. Pity the show's not complete, though.

Video w/ TC. See it to believe it. And believe me, Carrion Crow, it's an absolute beauty. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVqArOogY-c

The Other One

Auditorium Theatre

Get lined up, put on your helmet, then prepare to be shot out of a cannon for about 30 minutes. This is what early Dead is all about.

Me and Bobby McGee

This one's a must for fans of this song: I know I'd trade some of my tomorrows for one more yesterday with Bobby & Co. Sweet and meloncholy....

So beautiful I had to stop it mid way through and start it again. Impassioned, clear sounding, great vocals and harmonies. (Phil!) Perfect.

Big Railroad Blues
April 1, 1984
Marin County Veterans Auditorium

Damned right! They take this one through a few extra choruses. You can tell they really felt like playing from the first note of the show. Killer first set.
Friend of the Devil

Nice version for the home crew. The whole show sparkles with fun energy, even on the slower numbers like this one. One of those shows where every note fits in just right. Great Brent magic on the Celeste-sounding keys.
Dancin' in the Streets
Oct. 14, 1976
Shrine Auditorium

No doubt about it, this is special. The new Dancin' wasn't firmly locked in place yet, and they were tweaking it every which way all summer and fall tours, leaving lots of room to explore this tune in new ways. This one is a high point of Dead spontaneity and exploration on form and collective improvisation They just slay it in ten-thousand ways.
Scarlet Begonias

Shrine Auditorium

This is a sleeper, meaning it slips past unnoticed until hitting you hard and solid. If Jerry's extra oomph and the miraculous ensemble aren't enough, then the downright sexy Donna parts (it's '76 and she sounds great) that supplement but never detract should seal the deal.
The Music Never Stopped
Oct. 14, 1976
Shrine Auditorium

Antidote for any remaining, poor, and uninformed heads out there who overlook '76 as a long, slow warmup for '77. This beautiful gem has solid, unique jams throughout, just like the brother says here.
