Space

Boston Garden

Sea Stones: Space noise electronica with Phil & Ned. Not for everyone, but sends me into well into the interstellar place.

May-June '74 might be my top time for Sugaree. This just builds up to so much intensity. Great stuff.

Candyman
Aug. 5, 1970
Golden Hall - San Diego Community Concourse

Intimacy levels: Campfire. Acoustic mellow to the point where I feel like just went camping with my favorite band. A treasure.

Crystal Ballroom

Clutch yer nuts and hold on for dear life. Heavy headiness where the squiggly hippies and the madman bikers get massively Dead nailed.

Truckin'

Lindley Meadows, Golden Gate Park

Explosive jam like they had 11 months of unplayed Truckin's compressed into one.

Ramble On Rose

Jerry pours it on. The vocals are some of his most energetic ever.
Greatest Story Ever Told

Bickershaw Festival

A wild ride to open the set. Jerry knocks it out of the park with his tone as metallic and sharp as it ever was. Hot version.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Bickershaw Festival

Very well mixed on the E72 complete set. The sound is just perfect, with every instrument ringing clear. Killer transition here. And the whole first set just rocks from minute one.
Black Throated Wind

Bickershaw Festival

Perfect emotional arc to the lyrics, captures the essence of this song.
The Other One
June 18, 1974
Freedom Hall

Can't believe I hadn't already voted for this mega-monster. Very heavy jams and a wild edge-of-madness ride between the extraordinarily virtuoso and the random meltdown so present in the best that '74 has to offer. Sounds like Ned Lagin is sitting in for part of it? I hear wild electronica all over from about 09:00 in.
