Mexicali Blues
June 30, 1985
Merriweather Post Pavilion

High energy and uptempo coming out of Mama Tried. The whole band sounds great, and Brent and Bobby provide a great rhythm section.

Knickerbocker Arena

Great tempo and a nice friendly vibe coming out of Space. Some excellent playing by Phil. The energy continues onto Watchtower.

Deer Creek Music Theater

A fast-paced shred-fest of a Deal to close set 1. Jerry's solo can't be missed. So full of energy!

A Keith-heavy version with a tight groove and a full sound. Love these early versions!

Big Railroad Blues

Golden Hall

This one's somehow not on here? The classic opener to Dick's Picks 35, and a MONSTER of a 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!
Stella Blue
March 21, 1994
Richfield Coliseum

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
Oct. 17, 1972
Fox Theatre

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