Pretty Peggy O
Nov. 20, 1985
Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center

Seemingly looser and jammier than some, with some great musical conversations.

Candyman
July 5, 1978
Omaha Civic Auditorium

Slick, efficient Garcia solo, plus some cool flourishes by the Godchauxs.

Friend of the Devil
June 12, 1976
Music Hall

Perfectly phrased and chosen melody lines from Jerry. Another astonishing FOTD of the era.

Samson and Delilah
June 10, 1976
Boston Music Hall

Phil’s and Jerry’s sixteenth-note runs light up this version with a country-blues twang faintly reminiscent of Cumberland.

Space
June 27, 1983
Poplar Creek Music Theater

Shimmering, dazed Space highlighted by some of Brent’s wildest keyboard tones and textures.

Truckin'
Oct. 27, 1973
Indianapolis State Fair Coliseum

Lots of Keith on organ during the verses, which creates some novel textures.
Throwing Stones
July 9, 1989
Giants Stadium

Hot, swampy East Coast summer energy! Very powerful.
Weather Report Suite
July 29, 1974
Capitol Center

Divinely inspired. I’m going to upvote the LIG right now.
Loser
March 24, 1973
The Spectrum

Yes, to all of the above, and how ’bout those Phil bombs?
Let It Grow
Sept. 29, 1977
Paramount Theatre

Just ridiculous. I can’t even believe this thing. Don’t go another day without hearing this. (The SBD’s not great, but try the AUD, loud.)
