Let It Grow

Orpheum Theatre

Gives you blisters on your fingers just listening to it. Great second bit coming after drums. Solid if not somewhat overlooked show.

Death Don't Have No Mercy
Aug. 23, 1968
Shrine Auditorium

A bit shorter and tighter than some, but brilliant, and part of an immortal set of primal blasting power.

Dark Star

Capitol Theater

Takes off on you for a deep and weird ride, then goes into a brilliant "The Main Ten" which just kills me its so good.

Capitol Theater

The boys were in a mellow mood tonight, and this one is the sweet and tearful-cowboy ballad it was written to be.

Capitol Theater

Moody, pensive, and beautifully acoustic. Like no other. Unbelievably beautiful.

Viola Lee Blues
April 6, 1969
Avalon Ballroom

A cappella finish after someone apparently kicked out their instrument amps right at the end. Good old Grateful Dead just said "F. it, let's keep singing". Love it.
King Bee
April 17, 1971
Dillon Gym

Real blues. Pigpen was on this night and the show belongs to him.
Wharf Rat
July 21, 1974
Hollywood Bowl

Thanks MerryJerry Wacked: You're right. This is an exploratory, muscular and gorgeous version. Seems they were putting a lot of energy in this song all tour. Brother Bertrando left us a great AUD not to be missed.
Playin' In The Band
July 21, 1974
Hollywood Bowl

An absolutely smoking, brilliant Playin'. A wild ride full of the wheels within wheels of groupmind. Sounds like they could have been headed into a MLB jam before they arrived at Wharf Rat. And the reprise kicks serious ass.
Wharf Rat
June 26, 1974
Providence Civic Center

May - June '74 Wharf Rats just slay me. This one is so beautiful. My god, is it beautiful.
