Stunningly good. Mysterious. My favourite - for now!

Just a full-on rocking get-up-and-jump version. Keith's blazes here.

Long fast and beautiful China jam to open 2nd set. Forgotten show? Check it out, heads, you won't regret it.

Crowd pumped up for this 1st set opener. Juiced and tight. Starts one hell of show.

Big Railroad Blues
April 1, 1984
Marin County Veterans Auditorium

Damned right! They take this one through a few extra choruses. You can tell they really felt like playing from the first note of the show. Killer first set.
Friend of the Devil
April 1, 1984
Marin County Veterans Auditorium

Nice version for the home crew. The whole show sparkles with fun energy, even on the slower numbers like this one. One of those shows where every note fits in just right. Great Brent magic on the Celeste-sounding keys.
Dancin' in the Streets
Oct. 14, 1976
Shrine Auditorium

No doubt about it, this is special. The new Dancin' wasn't firmly locked in place yet, and they were tweaking it every which way all summer and fall tours, leaving lots of room to explore this tune in new ways. This one is a high point of Dead spontaneity and exploration on form and collective improvisation They just slay it in ten-thousand ways.
Scarlet Begonias
Oct. 14, 1976
Shrine Auditorium

This is a sleeper, meaning it slips past unnoticed until hitting you hard and solid. If Jerry's extra oomph and the miraculous ensemble aren't enough, then the downright sexy Donna parts (it's '76 and she sounds great) that supplement but never detract should seal the deal.
The Music Never Stopped
Oct. 14, 1976
Shrine Auditorium

Antidote for any remaining, poor, and uninformed heads out there who overlook '76 as a long, slow warmup for '77. This beautiful gem has solid, unique jams throughout, just like the brother says here.
