Death Don't Have No Mercy

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.

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.

Hot as can be, this song might be harder to jam on then others, but nevertheless the quick jams are energetic, and this one certainly does not disappoint.
