Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
March 24, 1988
Omni Coliseum

Thrilling version with one of those climactic jams with multiple peaks; each time you think they can't go higher, they find another gear and blast further. One of the best latter-day versions!
Feel Like A Stranger
April 2, 1990
The Omni

A little rough out of the gate but they pull it together and head into the jam with a head of steam. Jerry’s midi experiment pays off, and the jam closes with a tight, shreddy climax.
When I Paint My Masterpiece
April 3, 1990
The Omni

This is the best of the Spring 1990 tour. Strong Weir vocals, nice little solo, great harmonies from Garcia and Mydland.
Death Don't Have No Mercy
March 28, 1969
Student Center

Extremely raw, eye-watering solo work by Garcia. I had this on cassette back in the early '90s and it still sets the baseline for shreddy '69 Dead.
Black Peter
Feb. 7, 1970
Fillmore West

The closing jam builds quite a head of steam! Between this and the Uncle John's the Dead were really probing the limits of the new Workingman's Dead material.
