Winterland Arena

Electrifying and high-power jams, with some of the weirdest sounds Donna ever made. Great fun and a wild ride.

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?

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

Nice that the archive version has the whole WRS and Let it Grow as one track. The LIG has a cool little WRS tag at the very end.

Trans out of a killer Truckin'>NFBM Jam is just a beautiful uptempo mandelbrot set of fretboard filigree.
