Utica Memorial Auditorium

The sugar's sweet - but the daydream just blows everything else away with joy.

Brokedown Palace

Utica Memorial Auditorium

Musical and sweet with great harmonies. Brilliant show with many great, mellow versions of their '73 setlist.

Playin' In The Band
March 21, 1973
Utica Memorial Auditorium

Exploratory simmering energy. Phil and Jerry co-soloing on a high plane of endless inspiration. Not a barn-burner, but smooth and abstract.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 21, 1973
Utica Memorial Auditorium

Snazzy light and tight. China's melody is a traipsing psychadelic counterpoint, a perfect trans into Rider. Good vibes.

The Other One

Nassau Coliseum

Complicated rising and falling arc to the energy, but great jam. Long Truckin>TOO>Eyes in a great 2nd set. Sound quality problems though.

Not Fade Away
Sept. 19, 1970
Fillmore East

It's 1970 and the Dead are all things packed into one like the last picasecond before the bigbang: psychedelia, blues, country, electric jazz, protopunk, lonesome cowboy badass, spacefoyoface, its all there. This NFA just kicks ass and has everything inside it.
Drums -> Space
April 19, 1982
Baltimore Civic Center

That's some deep dark water there. Love the prankster vibe. I bet they freaked some people way the fuck out with this. But nice of the boys to takes us back down with a sweet good-feeling wheel.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 25, 1977
The Mosque

Everything I love about the '77 Scarlets. Concise, sure, but also tight and uptempo without being rushed or speedy. Exploring new sounds and reaching out into the stratosphere. The FTM is brilliant, too.
Dark Star
Feb. 11, 1970
Fillmore East

Definitive setlist anyone? Archive has a killer TOO, Dire Wolf and a great Casey Jones before the MC introduces the Dead (?!). Incomplete early show? Oh and this Dark Star is amazing. Duane Allman brings on the hard, not as trippy as some, but good old rock and freaking roll.
The Other One

Fillmore East

Confusion b/w archive and setlists.net. Anyone with info on this show?
