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.

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

This right here is a Bob Weir owned and operated unit. Ace is taking lead tonight.

This show comes on like a perfect nod..after a couple fast hard nights at MSG, we're staggering and swaggering into Boston. Nothing too abrasive, but before you know it your face is on the floor.

Gearing up for MSG? Coming out swinging after a bit of a clunky one the previous night. Also, the Mason Taylor aud isn't in too bad of shape. Seems like Mason is finding his groove this tour after some tougher recordings in previous runs.

I thought this was the ghost of Donna...instead I have an entire new strain of music to dig into
