Beefy stetson hat workout. Ravishing harp and fun fender deluxe reverb tones.

Not unheard of to go into this after scarlet fire (34 times) still, something of a wacky pranksterish reset. Speedy and powerful version with growl.

Devils come alive. Joy ride to wirepickin' ecstatic oblivion. Furiously active yet not autobahn, deep 80s

Great one. Kits duet is really inspired. Space curdles out with noise but gets jester's hat nightmare with vocal pranks. Beautiful long bluesy intro

Just switched over to the matrix, and yeah, I really like the feeling of it. It's a hot night in Boston. Anyway, flaming hot full WRS. The chops!!! This version just takes off, so underrated!!!! Let it flow, wide and clear!!!!!!!!!!!!! XXXXDDDD
Deal

Music Hall

You might be right. Nonetheless, a classic slow Deal. Like so many of our favorite creators and artists, the Dead have several evolutionary phases each with their own unique things to love.

Average big river. Still some Keith gun slingin' though.
He's Gone

Nassau Coliseum

I mean come on, with 125 votes for this jack straw, you'd think people would check out the rest of this prime 70's dead set. This he's gone is just insanity!

12?!?!? Holy shit. Amazing row jimmy. Keith, keith and more keith!! It's so tight. Phil, phil, phil, phil, phil. This gig is absolutely incredible, can't wait to dive into more meat from it. Lydos - that's our phil!!! He handled high harmonies until donna came around.... Let him sing!!!!!!!!!!!!!
