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.
6
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

Poplar Creek Music Theater

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

Space
Oct. 19, 1974
Winterland Arena

WTF! This sounds like a highly electronic Drums segment from the ’90s. Unlike any other Seastones performed at a Grateful Dead show, as far as I’m aware.
Drums -> Space
July 17, 1989
Alpine Valley Music Theatre

They inhabit space with such total commitment and seem reluctant to leave even after 10 minutes, hence the drawn-out segue into The Wheel.
Wharf Rat
Jan. 10, 1978
Shrine Auditorium

Another ludicrously fine Wharf Rat of the late ’77 – early ’78 vintage. Adds to the flow and power of the ’77s a fearless exploratory edge peculiar to January ’78. Very free and jammy with exemplary contributions from the entire ensemble.
The Other One
Jan. 10, 1978
Shrine Auditorium

Heavy, blistering, hard-rock Dead.
Estimated Prophet
Jan. 10, 1978
Shrine Auditorium

Very exploratory jam that eventually relaxes and dissolves into He’s Gone.
