Scary freaking version with ghosty Donna wails. Nice transition into a tear-jerking Wharf Rat.

Just exactly perfect version with crisp Jerry leads and Reading Rainbow tone on Brent's piano. Superior '83 playin'.

An expert rendition. Jerry is using his crispy Rosebud tone. The band is tight, and Jerry sings it beautifully. My favorite latter-era tune.

Music Hall

Hair-raising 1st set opener. Phil is all over his fretboard. A unique performance with a lot of thick piano work from Keith. Driving drummers!

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

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.
