The Music Never Stopped

Community War Memorial Auditorium

Note for note brilliant. Jerry is blazing over the band with one brilliant line after another. Great set capper.

Solid emotionally charged version with a great balanced soundboard right as the Fall tour kicks into blistering hot gear.

Samson and Delilah

William and Mary College Hall

Fall of '76 is peak time for Samsons, and this one just struts. Great feeling for this under-the-radar show.

Nassau Coliseum

Peak musicianship and total communication of the band at one of their most telepathic moments as a group. Jerry's vox is sublime.

Pristine rendition, now audible with thanks to C.Miller. This is a peak era Dead, with new sounds and balance even in the straight rockers.

Eyes Of The World
Feb. 3, 1978
Dane County Coliseum

Sparkling, effervescent, crystal clear and overflowing with inspiration. This one soars on wings a mile long, lifts off like sparkling light dancing on the ripples on the calm, powerful, and open sea. Certainly it's one of the great beauties. Cool comments Heads: I like "This is why and how" - Thanks Wookie.

Feelin' Groovy Jam
Oct. 30, 1973
Kiel Auditorium

They stretch this out and really take off in the FGJ, like a chemical reaction slowly churning up, then building to a bubbling musical overflow.
El Paso
Oct. 30, 1973
Kiel Auditorium

The honkytonk first set is perfected here. Jerry is possessed, galloping 100 mph behind, around, above, and in-between Bobby's flawless delivery. El Paso never gets enough love... but you can tell they're just having a blast here.
Mexicali Blues
Oct. 30, 1973
Kiel Auditorium

Follows straight out of a very western-swinging Deal and holds onto the desperado theme. Some folks find this show to be a bit too mellow, a bit slower tempo for an era filled with electrifying whirligigs, but this Mexicali shows how well they could sync together at any speed, at any energy level during this peak era.
