Hell in a Bucket

Shoreline Amphitheatre

Explosive show opener. Wire to wire intensity, energy and execution. A must-hear for Bucket fans.

Oh, the truth to you I'll tell - this kicks butt.

Hot vocals. Bruce crazy good. Jerry & Vince sound good on their solos. Awesome version.

A great song they should have played more. Solid version. Hornsby is all over it.

Phil's vocals here are as good as it gets for this tune.

Simple Twist Of Fate

Capitol Theatre

Passionate and intense. If this was Jerry playing it with the Dead, people would love it.
Cold Rain and Snow

Augusta Civic Center

I don't get it. The pace is sluggish, the guitar work uninspired. Yeah, they get into the final singalong, but overall this being the best one they ever played?
Johnny B. Goode

Texas Christian University

It sounds like the band is going to kill the song early, but Jerry and Keith push on to a rockin' finish.
Maybe You Know

Berkeley Community Theater

Bad idea.

Sometimes you read these comments and think - do the Grateful Dead ever sing? Here's props for a great verse by Bob.
