Whopping late '77 version of this, the Dead intuitively coasting the waves of the atmosphere's collective imagination.

Bird Song
Dec. 9, 1981
Activity Center - University of Colorado

seems like this one needs an advocate, awesome early Brent bird!!! Growling, columnic fusion. What doesn't soar may still fly with just as much dignity, not just ecstasy.
Little Red Rooster

Activity Center - University of Colorado

first rate, they're super into it
Friend of the Devil
Dec. 9, 1981
Activity Center - University of Colorado

swoops in and rescues a rough start to set 1 with cape, mask, and activated layered jams. Boisterous mickey thwacking away, jazzy rhodes and gently weepin' tiger. awesome fotd
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
June 22, 1995
Knickerbocker Arena

Snappy delivery with timeless charm. Loose, patient, bitonal Slip. Typical of the era jerry starts splatting with midi pretty much immediately, in a characteristically iconic fashion. Passers by keep their heads stayed down. Franklins is alright
So Many Roads
June 22, 1995
Knickerbocker Arena

Seminal plateau of dewy but statuesque emotion. Weir fluttery weave and tone building, phil bombs. beautifully epic coda!!!
