China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

The Sportatorium

Brent lends the transition jam a relaxed fusion vibe. Dreamlike, but doesn't lose precision.

Hot and tight. Amazing show overall.

Brent on the Hammond will send chills down your spine.

Academy of Music

Dick's Picks 30. Band is about to leave for Europe and gives a preview of the tour's signature jam style. Astonishing.

Theatre Hall

A thing of beauty like all the big jams from this tour, this one's every bit as moody and introspective as freaky and paranoid.

Manic and dangerous, Jerry shreds this to bits.
Me and My Uncle

Jai-Alai Fronton

Almost primal Dead at times. Wild and anything but typical.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 21, 1977
Lakeland Civic Center

Thrashing, wild Scarlet yields suddenly to a creeping, boggy Fire. Not perfect, but plenty of blood and grit: recommended.
Knockin' On Heaven's Door
March 21, 1990
Copps Coliseum

As delicately intimate a performance as you're likely to hear from the Dead in 1990. Not a wasted note.
Bird Song

Greek Theater
