Seattle Center Coliseum

Laid-back show opener...cool points for the transition into unusual

New Minglewood Blues

Hofheinz Pavilion

Thunderous! Everybody on point. Fierce weir vocals, crunchy lesh, Jerry rippin', kieth and the drum boyz pounding away

Morning Dew
June 7, 1977
Winterland Arena

Very nice...Not the greatest of all time, but an average Dew from '77 is great enough in itself

Uptown Theater

Rarely a song I like, but this one stands out to me, probably because of Brent and Jerry, in that order

Scarlet Begonias
April 29, 1977
The Palladium

Right on...definitely takes an adjustment, but this set pays off big time...I sprung it on a deadhead friend, and he loved it. Definitely gives the "being there" feeling, peaking with the crowd and all that...
Shakedown Street
April 27, 1985
Frost Amphitheatre

Not sure...must have a mislabeled cd. But whichever version, it does smoke.
Comes A Time
Dec. 4, 1971
Felt Forum, Madison Square Garden

Nothing like it...1971 is inimitable.
Dark Star
Aug. 27, 1972
Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

Right on about the "light-hearted" individuals. They never got further out of the atmosphere than right here.
Jack Straw

Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

This one has to be higher...it's downright shameful...the pure psychedelia oozes out of every corner
