Deal
Sept. 14, 1974
Olympiahalle

The first several songs of the show are AUD only, but the performances, as in this Deal, are note perfect.

Jack Straw
Sept. 14, 1974
Olympiahalle

As hot as the other blazing Jack Straws from late ’74. Don’t miss out on these wild first set performances.

It Must Have Been The Roses
Sept. 11, 1974
Alexandra Palace

Brimming with confidence, this version has noticeable snap /-

Samson and Delilah
June 21, 1976

These super fresh June '76 Samsons are delightful. Don't overlook this one.

The old encore favorite is executed with both ease and precision. Clean, bright Brokedown here.

Mexicali Blues

Olympiahalle

This is one of the fastest Dead performances, of any song, I've ever heard -- and it never falls apart! It might be uncomfortably fast for some, but man, this just zips.
Eyes Of The World
Sept. 11, 1974
Alexandra Palace

I can’t believe how good this thing is for each of its 31 minutes. It has everything!
Sugaree
Feb. 20, 1991
Oakland Coliseum Arena

Superb! I didn’t know they still played Sugarees like this in ’91. Jammy and uptempo. Vince sounds great on organ, and Jerry of course provides the X factor.
It Must Have Been The Roses
Sept. 11, 1974
Alexandra Palace

… and is beautifully sung to boot.
Jack Straw
Sept. 11, 1974
Alexandra Palace

It is. In my book, this is one of the best ever. In fact, I am amazed that the top of the Jack Straw chart isn’t wall to wall ’74 versions.
