Sugaree

Jai-Alai Fronton

One of the (for me) rare versions of Sugaree that never drags, but keeps building and building with great intensity.

Rambler Room

Gorgeous acoustic version in a superb gem of a concert. Jer's voice is perfect, the emotional arc soars. A mini masterpiece.

Wait for it, then run in fear from it. The boys had something ferocious in mind here.

Kresge Plaza - MIT

Brilliant long jam. Very creative and deep in places. Doesn't go into space, but stays right in the pocket.

Duh. Ha! I love that this is here, I love you guys, and I love the Grateful Dead.

Hey Glynparson! If you dig Sept. and Oct. '76 Dancin's (and I know you do) check out October 3rd. That's my current favorite from this sweet spot in the song's history. Enjoy!

I've said in reference to the suite, I think there are several TOOs that stand up to the well-know May 2. But that isn't to say this isn't an outrageous mother of a beast. This outro just slices through you with such precision. Whatta slaughter!
