The Other One
April 9, 1989
Freedom Hall

A kaleidoscopic Other One is the apex of a very well-played second set.

Winterland Arena

Emphatic, even ferocious. Check it out.

Thunderous energy to complement the rest of this hard-rocking Winterland run.

Samson and Delilah
April 26, 1977
Capitol Theater

Not just a straightforward rocker. Keith adds an icy contrast to Jerry’s fire while the drummers up the tension.

Sparkling version. Worth your attention as you savor the perfect Oade AUD.

Wharf Rat

Omaha Civic Auditorium

Jerry’s last solo is notably fierce and forceful.
The Seven
Sept. 29, 1969
Cafe au Go-Go

FIRE. Exquisitely incendiary primal Dead.
Doin' That Rag
Sept. 29, 1969
Cafe au Go-Go

Well worth checking out. This song improved as the year went on, I’d say.

The Omni

Very unique (and lengthy). I mean, it’s ’95, and the usual caveats apply (somewhat), but this is a good illustration of the band exploring new directions very different from those of just a few years earlier — continuing to evolve, in other words.

Capitol Theatre

Short, as these early versions are, but they really make it count, especially in the closing (in what would become the jam).
