Avalon Ballroom

From a painful whisper to pure lightening, an enveloping force of nature

Death Don't Have No Mercy
Oct. 13, 1968
Avalon Ballroom

Dark, moody, and soulful. A searing guitar solo, a purely haunted version. An evocation of the deep unharnessed power that controls the fatal cycle.

Turn On Your Love Light
Dec. 2, 1971
Boston Music Hall

Pulsing and free. Bill sounds like he has triple the arms. Pig sweats some blues, Garcia liquifies. Lock yourself in, strap up, and don't look back.

Paramount Theatre

Churns, plays itself out, factor playing. Energetic, smooth as smooth.

Friend of the Devil

The Spectrum

Needs more votes now! This FOTD is americana at its finest.
Dark Star

The Spectrum

Breathtaking, and obscenely wonderful. The descent into the bluegrass jam into Morning Dew, is beyond extraordinary. This, is the show for me. Everything about it, and it might just be that DP 36 is my favorite Dick Pick of all time. Although, it is subjective I must say this is a deserving top 5 Dark Star.
Dark Star

Fillmore East (Late Show)

Garces, were in agreement here. 1970, for me is one of the pinnacle years of Grateful Dead's psychedelia. This show exemplifies many reasons in which I always come back to this year, and love it every time. This Dark Star is tremendous, and should be heard by all who "get" what this band is all about.
Let It Grow

Irvine Meadows

This is a strong version.
It's All Over Now Baby Blue
Dec. 3, 1981
Dane County Coliseum

Something was in the water this night.... Ethereal Black Peter that is one of the best ever, in the same show and set as this encore Baby Blue. Are you kidding me, what a great way to end this set. Whole show is underrated.
