Check out the totally mad vocals. Someone's belting it out, and it ain't Donna! Out of a killer Dark Star.

A long deep ride: Inter-stellar collectivity with deep-space weirdness after 1st chorus.

Beautiful ensemble playing. Jerry and Donna harmonise nicely.

The boys push behind Bobby like the posse chasing the narrator of the song. You can hear the hoofbeats. Excellent.

Soaring. Jerry and Phil in collective consciousness. My version is marred by a rough AUD patch though.

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

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.

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

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.
