Sugaree
Sept. 26, 1980
Warfield Theater

The oft-overlooked electric sets from the Warfield/Radio City acoustic runs. '77 be damned, THIS is a Sugaree.

Bobby making sure this show doesn't get lost in the shuffle. Great ad-libs, and the full howling range we love.

Uptown Theatre

Whole show is a hidden classic- but whatever you do DO NOT skip this Sugar Mags. Truly seamless after the set break, Dead at their finest.

Me and My Uncle

The Spectrum

Jerry manages to fit even more extra notes in, despite this being a way uptempo cut. Maybe the most seamless trans into Big River.

Capitol Theatre

Coming out of the debut of Far From Me (first time he sang a lead?), Brent really had to win the crowd back and delivered Aces.

Oakland Auditorium

Jerry really cooked himself through this show..(odd?) night off 12-29 and pretty uninspired on 12-30. Recharged for NYE but can't top this one.

Oakland Auditorium

Having some stereo/streaming trouble, so I had to back up and listen to this cut about 10 times. Never my favorite tune...but never say never and Row Jimmy Row.

To hell with lyrics and to hell with the dusty 70's. We want hard shreds and funky jams, and we're damn well gonna get it for the next 10 trips 'round.

Sun so HOT tonight!! Past 2 nights of the run were a little stiff...knew we were saving the fire for NYE. Welcome to the 80's...fast approaching the best few years of the Dead (come at me and NFA)
