Sharp, delightful version. Supercharged Keith’s melodic lines will keep you guessing.

Do not miss! Jerry and Billy delicately dance across this while Phil subtly challenges the stability.

Very cohesive version with a noticeable snap. And Phil’s prominent in the recording.

Downs of Santa Fe

Don’t miss this wild, careening thrill ride. Start at Playin’ to get the full effect.

Drums -> Space

Downs of Santa Fe

Vivid Drums followed by extraordinary Space: a bright, melodic Bob and Jerry jam, then bicycle horns and a rich TOO intro jam.

Jerry’s last solo is notably fierce and forceful.

FIRE. Exquisitely incendiary primal Dead.

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

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.

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