Never Trust A Woman

nothing exemplifies the magic of 80s Dead better than a total freakout jam coming out of Never Trust a Woman. a must-listen

this is a totally nasty jam that would be a highlight in any Spring tour, let alone in '95

Wow, how often can you say Vince is the MVP on a big jam? Jerry's plugged in and in fact everyone sounds pretty tight but it's Vince bringing the color with the frantic synth plucks that takes this to a special place. Also, a lot of very Brent-like piano fills toward the back half.

Fiery stuff. Even at the end when it really just becomes Brent, Bobby and the Drummers (as is the case of a lot of '82 jams) it never relents.

'81 contains some great sleeper PITBs, and this is one of them. Rapid fire interplay, with Phil as the calm eye of the storm. The end becomes a duel between Bobby and Brent, which seldom works as well as it does here.
