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.

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
June 27, 1983
Poplar Creek Music Theater

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

This is colossal, a treat for my fellow space sickos.
Me and My Uncle
Dec. 18, 1973
Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

Immediately had to upvote this, one of the best versions I’ve heard. KEITH.
Loser
Nov. 22, 1972
Austin Municipal Auditorium

Best-of-’72 candidate.
Estimated Prophet
Dec. 30, 1989
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena

The regular cast is great on this, but I like the fills Airto adds too.
Greatest Story Ever Told
March 26, 1973
Baltimore Civic Center
