High-energy playin' from the boys. Great Garcia solos and Phil bombs.

Fillmore Auditorium

Electric cool-aid acid version from the beginning of the Summer of Love. You can actually get body waves from listening to this one. Love the organ.

They Love Each Other
Nov. 1, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

A truly heady version from fall '79. Brent's key-clicking Rhodes piano and Jerry's beautiful solo make this my favorite version. TIGHT performance.

U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)

Uni Dome, U of Northern Iowa

A bit rough around the edges but BALLS OUT energy the whole way through. An incredible performance with Jerry belting it out.

Crazy unique FOTM intro jam, unlike any other version I've heard. LOVE '78!

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.

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'.
