Greatest Story Ever Told
Feb. 23, 1974
Winterland Arena
Electrifying and high-power jams, with some of the weirdest sounds Donna ever made. Great fun and a wild ride.

Winterland Arena
Surf Punk! Never thought I'd hear California surfer thrash so clearly in the Dead, but here it is: Bobby as primordial punk rocker? Why not?

Winterland Arena
Are you kidding me? This is just blazingly good. Jerry's on fire, vocals and axe. Too good for words.

Solid and sweet, with some beautiful slide solos and nice vocals, Donna included.

A powerful triumph, just exploding with intense jamming and emotion. Real dynamite here.

More love here. After a firework-filled Sugar Mag opener, this lovely lady puts the solid groove down. Jerry just gives more and more and more.
Dark Hollow
Sept. 20, 1970
Fillmore East
I try to avoid absolutes, but this is (currently) my favorite acoustic set. Beaut of a Dark Hollow here, folks. Bobby's voice is just perfect.
Big River
May 9, 1977
War Memorial
I'll take this one, thank you. Takes this tune way up over the top with high energy soloing. Great great show.
Big Railroad Blues
Sept. 20, 1970
Fillmore East
Convincing evidence for 1970 this. Brilliant, perfect acoustic Dead.
New Speedway Boogie
July 3, 1970
McMahon Stadium
Okay, I'll take the bait: you got a link that's not on the archive? Let us know. I'd love to hear some rare privileged early speedway dead.
