From the Heart of Me

Boston Music Hall

Nice showcase tune for Donna, to show the world she can do more than scream. Nice guitar work by Jerry towards the end.

Studio demo

Pigpen takes some small steps forward with his improvisational singing, but there's still a long way to go. Worth a listen.

The Matrix

Fun early version highlighted by some good Pigpen vocals and some screaming guitar work from Jerry. Give it a listen!
Broken Arrow

The Omni

Let's face it - Phil's singing isn't very good and the instrumental work isn't up to Grateful Dead standards.
Day Job

Hartford Civic Center

This is pretty low in the rankings of all-time best performances. The only real strong point is Bob's emphatic backup vocals.
