Dancin' in the Streets
outta nowhere "Got my Mojo Workin" sandwiched in between
19
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Cool early version of the combo.
5
Looks Like Rain
This is what LLR is all about -- silky harmonies with Bob and Donna at one of their vocal peaks, and Keith filling it in -- understated and exquisite.
7
The Wheel
This version has a beautiful, long, slow intro that's as sweet as molasses. The transition from Dancin' is well executed. Dancin'-The Wheel-Terrapin
23
Playin' In The Band
Philly dead, philly love!
5
Got My Mojo Working
First Mojo ever...has Dancin' feel throughout. Can't touch 10/21/78, tho.
10
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Sloppy start but the rest is played well. Not as good as many 77 versions but it deserves a mention.
7
Deal
Nice version from and underrated show. Good Jerry solo.
4
Tennessee Jed
Soaring Jerry solo. Nice build at the end.
7
Estimated Prophet
Short but sweet early version.
10
Pretty Peggy O
Nice. I doubt there's a bad version from the 70s.
3
Samson and Delilah
From the first show of the spring tour, hard drumming and lots of energy!
9
Terrapin Station
Dancin'->Got My Mojo Workin'->Dancin'->The Wheel->Terrapin Station!! Unique second set, worth the listen..
5
It Must Have Been The Roses
Perfect version of Roses. Delicately sung by Garcia and piano from Keith. The solo is extra long and unique. Has a "mission in the rain" feel to it.
2
El Paso
This EP is 'just exactly perfect'. Jerry's curlicue soloing over tight ensemble playing in a dramatic rising arc.
1
Promised Land
an amazing opener from a sometimes overlooked show
