Row Jimmy
June 21, 1976
Tower Theater
Intense and electrifying, highlighted perhaps by Jerry’s vocal performance. Another amazing June ’76 Row Jimmy.

I Need A Miracle
Dec. 17, 1978
Fox Theatre
Hot early version with a well-developed Jerry-led outro jam. Check out the amazing Joann Walker recording.

Space

Unusual, long Space for the era. Fans of Feedback will enjoy this one.

Mexicali Blues
Sept. 14, 1974
Olympiahalle
This is one of the fastest Dead performances, of any song, I've ever heard -- and it never falls apart! It might be uncomfortably fast for some, but man, this just zips.
Eyes Of The World
Sept. 11, 1974
Alexandra Palace
I can’t believe how good this thing is for each of its 31 minutes. It has everything!
Sugaree
Feb. 20, 1991
Oakland Coliseum Arena
Superb! I didn’t know they still played Sugarees like this in ’91. Jammy and uptempo. Vince sounds great on organ, and Jerry of course provides the X factor.
It Must Have Been The Roses
Sept. 11, 1974
Alexandra Palace
… and is beautifully sung to boot.
Jack Straw
Sept. 11, 1974
Alexandra Palace
It is. In my book, this is one of the best ever. In fact, I am amazed that the top of the Jack Straw chart isn’t wall to wall ’74 versions.
