Synth alien space into Stella Blue. Really cool effects from Bobby and Brent. Listen to this show.

Impressive soloing and unique guitar tones from Jerry and Bobby. Pure lysergic goodness. 1966 headiness.

Vince plays synth organ instead of those terrible horns. Similar to killer versions played by Bob later in Ratdog (when this song really got good).

Memorial Coliseum

Tight playing, excellent vocals, polished performance. Summer of '73 in Portland—who could ask for more?

Giants Stadium

Epic Shakedown. Starts with lyric flubs by Brent and Bob, but rages onward to headiness.

Jerry winds up and explodes during the "THOUGHT I HEARD A YOUNG MAN!" verse. Love '83 Dead. Check out the Scarlet>Fire from this show too.
They Love Each Other

Winterland Arena

Agreed! Also, Keith's solo is pure magic. He is awake and playing his ass off this evening. Love DP 10.

This performance is now a bonus track on the remastered American Beauty. This is an incredible song that I wish the Dead played more during their 1970-71 period. I love Phil's vocals here. He sounded great back in the early '70s.

I was locked into the Phil Zone throughout the entire Jam. 8-D
Mission in the Rain
March 17, 1978
Capitol Theatre

You can see a whole set of this show on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5pR1p35FyI This Mission is definitely the best out there. Jerry's voice is still a little raspy from his laryngitis back at the beginning of the year, but he puts so much emotion into his vocals (he also looks very stoned; Jerry complained that pot messed with his voice). John Kahn's bass playing is phenomenal. A quintessential show from '78 JGB.
