The band tries to catch Jerry and wolf as they’re seemingly on the loose. Traversing through snowy mountaintops. A wonderful journey.

Brent’s organ takes this to another level. I’m partial towards the Pigpen Version, but this shines in its own ways. Lovely phrasing from Jerry as well

Shocked to not see this here yet. Absolute scorcher from a really great show. Jerry’s tone cuts through like a scorching hot knife. Skin your wife.

Coming out of He's Gone. Billy goes ham, hitting the drums like a machine gun.

A mighty a primal drum section reminiscent of the early acid test days. Follows after a rare Cryptical and breaks through into The Other One.

Moving in ways I can’t describe. Jerry’s guitar is a true extension of who he is, and what he feels. His guitar speaks emotions he can’t put into words, a very, very beautiful solo that alters your brain chemistry. You have to take a moment to bask in it, it’s really that good.

Barn burner. Jerry’s tone this show is molten lava.

McFarlin Auditorium, SMU

Wonderfully creative. Tapping into that stream of consciousness that Dark Star is so well known for. The Feelin' Groovy>Tighten up jam really takes the weight off the heart after exploring some deep and dark places. Lovely version with a short and sweet Bobby solo during Tighten up, and a superb thematic jam at the end with Jerry summoning rainbows with each pluck of a string.

Freedom personified in sound. Gonna miss you Phil.

Phil Lesh has passed to the great beyond. Thank you for the gift of music Phil, and for making my life, and so many others better with your powerful and timeless music. May the 4 winds blow you home again.
