I Need A Miracle
July 20, 1994
Deer Creek Music Center

6 tracks pre-drums, a set chock full of patient, far-reaching playing. This is a perfect party time palate cleanser, searing.

Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again

Deer Creek Music Center

A version that earns the submission. Inspired and filled out. Night prior is hot and the Deer Creek magic reigns.

Excellent generously stately and tumultuous intro. Laid back. Nice melt to black peter.

this is a golden stretch in terms of style and form for GD. Deep and thickly bright sprinting jam

Here Comes Sunshine
July 28, 1973
Grand Prix Racecourse

Here comes sunshine 1973 is really one of those unbeatable song/year combos for me, like a Scarlet Fire from '77 or a lovelight from '69, there's just something about it. The whole band turning on in a big way. Taking the vacation together
Beat it on Down The Line

Grand Prix Racecourse

Sheeeeeee-it, looks like we've got an underrated show here. Nearly 4 hours of summer '73 bliss at Watkins Glen. Burning burning burning beat it.
Box of Rain
July 28, 1973
Grand Prix Racecourse

Such a long time to be gone and such a short time to be there. yeah, an amazing box of rain on this show. I definitely would have started crying during this song and kept my grateful eye shedding going into that fat juicy 73 here comes sunshine. Here's the show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9lsWCYKgvI
Revolution
March 15, 1990
Capital Centre

Whoa, marylandian insanity on this encore. A bust-out of an old distorted rave-up of a Beatles B-side, accompanied by Lennon's "Activism" type political screed. The hippie dippie vibe wins out and the song has always been a great one, especially in the slowed down "Revolution 1" white album style. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3gaA4r_07Q very end!

Add it to the endless list of great cassidys, a headlong boppin' yet wise and wistful early bob weir tune
