Space
April 3, 1982
The Scope

This brief Space is more of an extended Jerry-led intro to NFA, and it's way cool. This show is out of sight.

Bird Song
June 13, 1994
Memorial Stadium

Adventurous, somewhat dissonant jam from a fairly strong first set. Fans of Welnick-era improv should check this out.

Its All Over Now
Nov. 10, 1985
Meadowlands Arena

Rowdy but still sharply played. Check out this superb first set.

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
Oct. 19, 1974
Winterland Arena

WTF! This sounds like a highly electronic Drums segment from the ’90s. Unlike any other Seastones performed at a Grateful Dead show, as far as I’m aware.
Drums -> Space
July 17, 1989
Alpine Valley Music Theatre

They inhabit space with such total commitment and seem reluctant to leave even after 10 minutes, hence the drawn-out segue into The Wheel.
Wharf Rat
Jan. 10, 1978
Shrine Auditorium

Another ludicrously fine Wharf Rat of the late ’77 – early ’78 vintage. Adds to the flow and power of the ’77s a fearless exploratory edge peculiar to January ’78. Very free and jammy with exemplary contributions from the entire ensemble.
The Other One
Jan. 10, 1978
Shrine Auditorium

Heavy, blistering, hard-rock Dead.
Estimated Prophet
Jan. 10, 1978
Shrine Auditorium

Very exploratory jam that eventually relaxes and dissolves into He’s Gone.
