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.

Sugar Magnolia

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.

gd1980-11-26.135530.sbd.miller.flac16 Mix still hasn't been fully set, so barely any drums...or guitars...just a sky high Mydland ripping like an angel sucking on a devil.

Jerry really feeling this late first set ripper.

I went to the ends of the earth to verify that they did, indeed, play it this slow...or somehow a gigantic magnetic field was cast upon the dozen-or-so isolated recording units capturing this. Further than mellow...this drags your head straight into the basement. Real bummer...but powerful and beautiful
It Must Have Been The Roses

Radio City Music Hall

gd80-10-23.101256 --- I thought the previous night had a rowdy Chad crowd...nothing compared to these schmucks. I believe the conversation/request to please be quiet was attempted...and they very firmly asserted they were not going to shut up. Even though these guys are harshing out the entire section...someone still passes them a rose...("pass the rose" triggered different images in my head) Maybe the sentiment brought a brief moment of self-awareness? Or maybe the taper moved the mics...

Is Mickey really playing a Dhol here? I'm hearing the specific phased 'swoop' sound of Punjabi music. Quite distracting. Makes you think...Mickey might be the REAL king of the wooks for making them think drums were cool. Too bad, drums suck.
