Giants Stadium

The boys had the odasity to play this song during their set at Giants stadium during the Dylan and the Dead tour, and rightfully so!

It Must Have Been The Roses
June 21, 1976
Tower Theater

If it wasn't for some audio glitches, this would be one of the top versions of this song. Keith and Donna are both outstanding on this one.

The Other One

San Jose state university

A brilliantly played O1 that has been tragically overlooked. The mix on this is spot on.

Winterland Arena

There is a nice guitar interplay between Jerry and Bobby on this one. Nice bouncy version.

Other than some talking on this recording, this is a really good version.

Hard to Handle
April 29, 1971
Fillmore East

I can't see why this version is so far behind 08/06/71 in votes. All of the April, 71 - Fillmore versions should be right up there.

Fillmore East

This one is just bursting with energy. The best of the April 71 Fillmore shows and at least as good as the 08/06/71 version, in my opinion. This one of Bobby's better solos on this song. And Jerrys tearing this one up!

Hollywood Palladium

until about 4.30 into this one, this version is really good but not any better then the 4-71 Fillmore versions. But when Jerry takes his outstanding solo, the energy of the whole band kicks in and this becomes a barn burner. Overall, though, I think the 4/27/71 version is every bit as good as this one.

Golden Hall

This show isn't on the archive. Crow or DS67 any info on this one?
Space

Dillon Stadium

The Ned part of that is referring to Ned Lagin, who was an experimental electronic key board player who sat in with the Dead, occasionally, in the early to mid 70s. He and Phil where good friends and would occasionally perform some very avant-garde material; also known as weard shit!
