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.

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.

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

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

Dancin' in the Streets

Kresge Plaza - MIT

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

Barton Hall - Cornell University

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

You're welcome GlynP. Check out the little essay at the link I cited above. Good website that one. Peace!

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!
