Ramble On Rose

Cameron Indoor Stadium, Duke U

A very tight version with great Phil bombs and Jerry solo. This show slips under the radar. Don't miss it.

Fire On The Mountain
April 24, 1978
Horton Field House - Illinois State University

Jerry's Mutron magic and Bobby's noodling slide make this version unique. So much energy here.

Drums -> Space
March 15, 1990
Capital Centre

The jam out of Terrapin>Drums>And>Space is a lysergic MIDI soup of ecstasy. Too bad it had to go into Brent's cheesy lullaby after instead of a Wheel

Estimated Prophet
Aug. 20, 1983
Frost Amphitheatre

A raging '83 version, filled with crispy headiness. Bobby and Jerry steal faces during the end jam.

They Love Each Other
March 19, 1977
Winterland Arena

Flawless execution. Perfect Keith solo and Garcia performance. A definitive '77 version.

This is usually the first acoustic or alternate-album version most people come into contact with when they are getting into the Dead. It stands up to everything else to follow.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Fillmore East

Bobby fans will dig this. Excellent spotlight for him during his solo in this version.

Jerry's vocals are just so pure through this whole show.

Radio City Music Hall

Brent's Fender Rhodes and Bobby's exceptional solo make this version. Just pure FOTD beauty.
Keep Your Day Job

Civic Center

I never understood the hate for this song. How is this rocker any different from crowd favs like a good '76 "Might As Well" or "Deal"? All three get my legs kickin'.
