The Other One

Kiel Auditorium

A massive, heavy, rocketship of a performance: Explosive liftoff, mining expedition to deep space, smoking craters, then a long sweet fast ride home.

A beautifully rendered rare treat with a nice emotional arc and sweet harmonies.

Hot building and building jam. One of those shows where just every song rocks. Nothing wrong here...

Great solos, tight ensemble playing kicking of the 2nd set from a great show. Energetic and blazing.

Playin' In The Band

Coliseum Stadium

Just cruising around nicely until about 15:00 and then they hit the warp drive and it just goes everywhere. Great '74 sound. Good, show maybe a bit underated.
Knockin' On Heaven's Door
Nov. 17, 1978
Rambler Room

First time played by the Dead, 9 years before it went into regular rotation. Was Jerry already playing this in solo gigs?

Very beautiful ensemble playing.
Playin' In The Band

Stanley Theater

Deeply weird meltdown coming out of a deceptively light and intricate jam. Real bugs under the skin and voices in the head carpet crawling towards the end.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Fox Theatre

Read about this in a New Yorker article about tapers. "Deadhead" by Nick Paumgarten in the 26.11.2012 edition. Thanks Nick, if you're lurking here, it's a beauty, and you pulled me into the 80s for a nice minute. Had this tape too and always found it... mystical. Great fun.
