Samson and Delilah
June 25, 1978
Autzen Stadium, U. of Oregon

Hard-drivin ‘78 Samson. Drummers are on fire. Bobby breaks out his slide for the second break

Pretty Peggy O

Autzen Stadium, U. of Oregon

Passionate vocals! Garcia plays some extremely unique leads during the instrumental - seems to go on a longer longer than usual by ‘78 standards.

It Must Have Been The Roses
April 22, 1977
The Spectrum

Perfect version of Roses. Delicately sung by Garcia and piano from Keith. The solo is extra long and unique. Has a "mission in the rain" feel to it.

C. C. Rider

The Spectrum

Really cool 2nd set CC Rider. Gritty and bluesy. Garcia plays some unique chords at the end

Ship of Fools
July 5, 1981
Zoo Amphitheater

Well sung and Brent tickles the ivories, creating the feeling of a ship at sea. Most importantly, Garcia's solo is emotion in every bend of a string

Row Jimmy
May 19, 1977
Fox Theatre

My favorite Row Jimmy. Second instrumental break gives the impression of a ship at sea, rocking back and forth rhythmically to the tide, and waves breaking and crashing upon the deck.
The Other One

Louisiana State U

The two drummers are clickin' away. Love the different percussion patterns on this date. Garcia's leads and Phil's bombs are great as always.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Dec. 11, 1972
Winterland Arena

Holy mackerel! This is a certainly a hidden gem. LISTEN UP FOLKS! This tune needs some good lovin'.
I've Been All Around This World
Oct. 18, 1980
Saenger Performing Arts Center

This gives me chills. Beautiful playing. Brent with awesome piano fills as well.
Loose Lucy
June 9, 1973
RFK Stadium

this is the only Loose Lucy from 73 or 74 when they really let loose (pun intended). Extended jam after the tune that really punctuates the groove. Hidden gems like this Loose Lucy are what made the Dead famous for their spontaneity and ingenuity. Unbelieveable version. This needs to be at the top.
