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.

St. Paul Civic Center Arena
Thick, rubbery-bouncy version. Fantastic follow-up to a gorgeous LLR.
Wharf Rat
May 21, 1974
Edmundson Pavilion
Now, I like the 46-minute Playin’ (not everyone does, as you will see if you read the comments), but even I’m inclined to say that Eyes > Wharf Rat is the apex of the show and one of the greatest moments of the month. It doesn’t get sweeter — more passionately and resourcefully realized — than this.

Hofheinz Pavilion
I can’t even believe this thing.
Friend of the Devil
Sept. 18, 1983
Nevada County Fairgrounds
A lot of very generous playing in the first few songs of this show — just a bounty of notes, all of them well chosen. Again, I’ll say: The Andrew F source sounds fantastic.
When I Paint My Masterpiece
July 10, 1990
Carter-Finley Stadium
Substantially energized by the storm and/or Bruce’s presence. Slathered in IT. Among the very best.
