They Love Each Other
Oct. 2, 1976
Riverfront Arena

Groovy, and some REAL nice solos by both Jerry and Keith. This one's got a little edge to it too.

The Sportatorium

'78 was a good year for this song. Lyrical slip-ups aside, the soloing and jaunty pace of this one make it a gem of the first set.

Downs of Santa Fe

One of a hundred high-energy versions of the early 80's, but hot nonetheless. Part of a thunderous Bobby-centric second set.

Good Lovin'

Curtis Hixon Convention Center

Part of a one-two-punch opener, paired with a heater of a Bertha. Keith adds great texture to Jerry's solo.

Jerry's got that wah going the whole song. Some may not like it, but I LOVE the psychedelic edge it brings to this version.

Toasty, and coming out of an incredible "Playing" sandwich, the band is all fired up. Jerry's vocals near the end are nice and aggressive!

Never heard this before, and I'm not sure how - I'm absolutely speechless. Just...wow.
Hurts Me Too
Aug. 24, 1971
Auditorium Theatre

Love Pig's organ, and of course, his wonderful soulful singing. Jerry's on point too.
Take A Step Back
July 12, 1987
Giants Stadium

Probably my favorite non-song the Dead ever did. Funky as hell!
Cumberland Blues

Fox Theatre

Holy SMOKES, this one is hot! A big highlight of this show.
