They Love Each Other
Sept. 2, 1979
Augusta Civic Center
Brent goes funky with his solo, then Jerry goes lyrical.

Drums -> Space
Sept. 2, 1979
Augusta Civic Center
What sounds like a momentary Let It Grow tease in Space, if you’re listening for something in particular. Powerful and pure Grateful Dead.

Me and My Uncle
Sept. 14, 1978
Sphinx Theatre
Carries forward the energy and vibe of the preceding Ollin>NFA. Kind of mesmerizing.

When I Paint My Masterpiece
Oct. 27, 1990
The Zenith
Eloquent Jerry solo elevates this one unexpectedly.

U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
July 7, 1978
Red Rocks Amphitheatre
Don’t always love the ’78s for this tune, but this howling version certainly warrants attention.

The Wheel
Sept. 13, 1983
Manor Downs
The two previous commenters say there’s no outro jam … I say otherwise. It’s short but beautiful, moving out of C to flit between E dorian (Other One mode) and A mixolydian (Dark Star mode).
Spanish Jam
Sept. 13, 1983
Manor Downs
Delirious, just nuts. Mickey (I’d guess) is on castanets, Phil’s on a Seastones wavelength, Brent and Jerry and Bobby send this into deep space. Then the haunted house organ, Brent? This needs a shit-ton more votes. The Senn 441 Miller upload sounds alive and crystal clear.
Playin' In The Band
Aug. 4, 1979
Oakland Auditorium
Very odd and out there. Little of this sounds at all like PITB. There’s what sounds like a brief callback to Shakedown, then Jerry turns on the overdrive and solos quite freely. Only toward the end does it enter that electronic meltdown space familiar from other ’79 PITBs, and of course that’s well done here.
China Doll
July 15, 1984
Greek Theatre - University of California
A wonderfully twisted D>S collapsing into *this* China Doll is the sort of magic that keeps us coming back to grimy, improbably transcendent ’84. Don’t miss it.
Franklin's Tower
April 5, 1989
Crisler Arena
No sign of the early spring magic letting up here in Ann Arbor. A great example of how tight and confident the band sounded in early ’89.
