Bertha
Sept. 7, 1983
Red Rocks Amphitheater

Soulful, melodic soloing, with Phil interweaving with bombs. On the AUD (Charlie Miller) Phil is clearly audible, its thunder. Certified grade A.

Cowboy western polka at its finest

Universal Amphitheatre

Powerful and forceful; Rising and falling, opening; Shattering, weeping; Closing and crashing.

The Other One

Universal Amphitheatre

Tearing a hole in the mind, spinning and drilling right into the cortex; Feel the pulse, the synergy; The twilight zone

Cleveland Music Hall

Smooth and funky; Garcia's tone is just right; Lesh is cruising; very strong opener.

Black Peter
Oct. 29, 1977
Evans Field House, Northern Illinois University

I have to admit this show is solid end to end. This Black Peter is an excellent capper to a nailed 2nd set. Pristine version
Truckin'
May 26, 1973
Kezar Stadium

Way more energy than most. Absolutely scorching.
He's Gone
May 26, 1973
Kezar Stadium

Phenomenal version, Lesh makes this one.
Me and My Uncle
May 26, 1973
Kezar Stadium

Charged, Garcia's solo snares the life of Cowboy Americana, enlightens it, and pumps it with steroids. This is the goods here.
Dancin' in the Streets
May 6, 1970
Kresge Plaza - MIT

Right on nonoyolker, what a massive version! Whole show is off the chain, pure psychedelic mastery presented. This Dancin' is right up there with the best of them.
