Big River

Horton Field House - Illinois State University

Stayin' Alive teases carried over from Me and My Uncle. Ballsy version

Me and My Uncle
April 24, 1978
Horton Field House - Illinois State University

Stayin' Alive tease to open and significant teases by Keith throughout. Most interesting version by far - (teases continue into a romping Big River)

Truckin'
May 9, 1979
Broome County Arena

Gigantic early peak, followed by high energy band interplay, concluded with some jacked up speedy noodling. Hard to ask for more

He's Gone
May 9, 1979
Broome County Arena

End jam has some of the best Bobby/Jerry interplay I can recall - truly incredible. Leads into a heart stopping Truckin'. Peep it

The Other One
Nov. 17, 1971
Albuquerque Civic Auditorium

Oooooh, I liked this one a lot. Travels all over the place. The opening bread of the TOO sandy is nice and bluesy, popping MAMU meat, and a delicate TOO landing bread = tasty sandy. Solid Wharf to follow
Viola Lee Blues
Oct. 31, 1970
School Gymnasium, S.U.N.Y.

Very cool for the giddy kitty banter about the lyrics at the start, swanking blues, then solid ramp up, finalized with a quality segue into CB. Def worth a spinner
Wharf Rat
Dec. 31, 1990
Coliseum Arena

Jerry's destroyed voice works quite well, given the tone and intent of the song. I find the Branford sit in/contribution to be a bit dentist room AM radio, but the boys are pretty on for the jam
Big River
Dec. 10, 1973
Charlotte Coliseum

Keith comes through in the cobra clutch, as Jerry dances on the leads. Choice
Caution
Nov. 8, 1969
Fillmore West

Honestly, i find this one a bit aimless, meandering ,and a tad underwhelming. Lesh has several beast moments that kill and the Main Ten portion is perfect, but the Caution sections are a bit too loose and flailing. The show in total is near perfect, though, and certainly worth the lauding in the Dead cannon
