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.

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

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

The Other One

Oakland Auditorium

Jerry seemed to be having trouble with lyrics all night, so I think they were leaning into extended solos and jams, and they really went off the deep end in here.
Big River

Oakland Auditorium

Real competitive vibe on this. Jerry thought he took the bag with his first solo...only to be matched by Bobby's growl...Brent's squeaky clean rip, AND Mickey designing some new beats on the fly. On the tape you can hear a bit of a conversation at the end...can't make it out but I'm sure it's Jerry saying Holy Shit
They Love Each Other
Feb. 22, 1974
Winterland Arena

First show of '74 after the best shows of their career in late '73. The rust of a few weeks off was evident early on...with everyone struggling to find their footing and butting heads a bit. When they kick this off, you can hear Billy really dig into the Hi-Hat and pick up the pace a notch or two. The rest of the boys seem to rally behind the beat and wake up a bit. The rest of the show is on fire, and this is really the turning point.
Sugar Magnolia

Public Hall

I honestly tend to skip the Sugar Mag encores for a lot of shows...but damn I'm glad I stuck it out tonight. absolutely nasty solo from Jer Bear.
Here Comes Sunshine
Dec. 6, 1973
Public Hall

The recently released 'Here Comes Sunshine' box set highlighting Spring '73 brings this underrated tune into the spotlight...but it was a little sloppy until the Fall/Winter, and on this night they really executed perfection.
