Dec. 6, 1973
Public Hall

Train rippin' down the hot coals of the 1973 track.

Drums
April 12, 1978
Cameron Indoor Stadium

Can't believe I'm submitting this. Long and fun drum circle that's notable because our Jer Bear whips out a steel pan and joins in.

It Must Have Been The Roses
Oct. 31, 1990
Wembley Arena

Jerry tearing the standards book asunder with this elegant poetic brilliance

Big River
Oct. 31, 1990
Wembley Arena

For a few minutes wembley in '90 becomes the fillmore in the summer of 1970, the way the Dead just slide into a no-nonsense Big River. Shivers

Loose Lucy

Wembley Arena

Smokin' and refined version of this deep cut, on "All Hallow's Eve" as a chap might say

New Minglewood Blues
Jan. 11, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

You should because this version isn't here to joke around. You can practically smell icicles of high-grade Colombian coke in the driving motorik majesty of this
Deep Elem Blues
May 2, 1970
Harpur College

Yep. This while smelling some smoke from a faroff stove, pine needles wafting, briskly walking with a mask with DP8 in tow
Friend of the Devil
Jan. 11, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

Oh my freaking lord. As long as the "post-hiatus" version, so to speak, of friend doesn't scare ya, how about 10 minutes of simmering crock-pot harmonies and pent up rage? Feels like dead on codeine syrup, or perhaps in the crevice of other journey experiences (prticlr lysergically), a curlicuing '79 versh. Impeccable. It's a hot jerry night and he's ramping up the soul in the atmosphere of the evening, which the Dead set as a brusk and bold painter casts the backdrop of a sumptuous ballet. the AUD is sick too, deep thick fukin cassette bass tone
Pretty Peggy O
Jan. 11, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

Vivaciously wondrously and temptatious, glistening version. Crazy gig from just before godchauxz split
Sugaree
Jan. 11, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

Vibing out to a chunky and crystal clean AUD, nice patient brilliance in this Sugaree, the kind of tune that scratches the itch that many heads out there crave, i'm sure.
