Another sharp pre-SSDD jam from '82. A very good year for Sugar Mags.

From the Heart of Me
Nov. 14, 1978
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.
Big Boy Pete

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
March 30, 1995
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
April 4, 1986
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.
