Keith's fills really stand out. More of an elastic bouncy version than leaden thumping one.

Played and sung like they really mean it. This one's got that "X factor."

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
