Johnny B. Goode

Rip roaring out of Uncle John's Band and after a high octane 2nd set, how else to finish?

Best of the Fillmore East run,IMO. Sharp and clean guitar work,purposeful but still relaxed in the best early Deal tradition

Not Fade Away

Fillmore West

1970, this is new and the boys sound so full of energy and excitement. The whole show has just been reseeded on IA, worth a listen.

Terrapin Station

Terrapin station album

I really do love the whole album. For the story that the Dead weren't good in the studio-what crap. Listening to the studio albums from Aoxomoxoa_> Terrapin what a list. most bands would be happy to have even 1 album as good.

People, please start from Samson and Delilah and run on through. It's all so good!
Ship of Fools

Fox Theatre

Ship of Fools doesn't really do it for me once Jerry's voice starts to go(hence Red Rocks 78 isn't worth the votes and Rich Stadium 1989 just upsets me. This night was like the good old days of 1974. Sweetly sung. spare but with feeling
Estimated Prophet

Barton Hall - Cornell University

Sorry but there are better Estimated s in May- 22/5/77;25/5/77;18/5/77 to name 3. i think that Barton Hall is overrated . Yes it's good but so are most of the May shows.

Memorial Coliseum

I think that it is a rarefied form of madness to try and work out even the best 10 versions of songs from this Spring Tour, but nevertheless, i think this version of Estimated has the most precise soloing and all around and around goodness. Up in the top 3 with Pembroke Pines and The Mosque.
