Also just about pretty damn perfect too. Follows a super-macho Hard to Handle and the combination shows so much of the emotional breadth of the Dead.

Tomorrow Is Forever

Winterland Arena

A sweet and rare country torch ballad showing off just what they were thinking bringing the Godchaux on board the bus.

Heavy and Heady. Starts with super-charged explosions then melts into ballsy MAMU in under 8 minutes. Love the '71s.

Absolutely smokin' hard rocking swagger. Builds from a cool shuffle to a blisteringly hot rocker setting up Drums/TOO. Great show all around.

The band plays/signs together so well on this sweet one. The whole concert is brilliant.

Not Fade Away
Sept. 19, 1970
Fillmore East

It's 1970 and the Dead are all things packed into one like the last picasecond before the bigbang: psychedelia, blues, country, electric jazz, protopunk, lonesome cowboy badass, spacefoyoface, its all there. This NFA just kicks ass and has everything inside it.
Drums -> Space
April 19, 1982
Baltimore Civic Center

That's some deep dark water there. Love the prankster vibe. I bet they freaked some people way the fuck out with this. But nice of the boys to takes us back down with a sweet good-feeling wheel.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 25, 1977
The Mosque

Everything I love about the '77 Scarlets. Concise, sure, but also tight and uptempo without being rushed or speedy. Exploring new sounds and reaching out into the stratosphere. The FTM is brilliant, too.
Dark Star

Fillmore East

Definitive setlist anyone? Archive has a killer TOO, Dire Wolf and a great Casey Jones before the MC introduces the Dead (?!). Incomplete early show? Oh and this Dark Star is amazing. Duane Allman brings on the hard, not as trippy as some, but good old rock and freaking roll.
The Other One

Fillmore East

Confusion b/w archive and setlists.net. Anyone with info on this show?
