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.

Pine Knob Music Theater

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.

Feel Like A Stranger

Earliest AUD where I hear someone yell, "BOBBBYYYY!", a distinct howl that will shadow the man forevermore. God bless the poor souls in a pin-drop venue like the Ryman watching Wolf Bros who to this day can't contain themselves

How the hell do you even cope with something like this on a Sunday afternoon in the blistering Boulder sun?

Still h*te this song...but if there HAS to be a version...
All New Minglewood Blues
June 7, 1980
Folsom Field

No clue how Bobby seems to find higher and higher scales on the ole' New Minglewood. Anyone complaining that his tone circa Dead + Co/Wolf Bros is 'trebley, tin can'...what do you call this?

Tie down the sails, tonight we're heading into deep water.
