Loser
Sept. 10, 1974
Alexandra Palace

Phil drops some serious bombs to complement Jerry’s ringing leads.

Pretty Peggy O
Aug. 24, 1980
Grand Center

Jerry’s solo is a fountain of melodic exuberance, reminiscent of the BEW earlier in the set.

Wharf Rat
Oct. 27, 1973
Indianapolis State Fair Coliseum

Worth switching to the AUD to hear the explosive ending after the SBD cuts out. Just awe-inspiring.

Drums -> Space
March 26, 1990
Knickerbocker Arena

Freaky electro Drums. In Space, listen for Bobby’s wild playing shortly before Jerry segues into Miracle.

The Spectrum

Tight, energetic, heartfelt rendition of this era staple.

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.
