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

Samson and Delilah

Greek Theater

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.

Ventura County Fairgrounds

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

It Must Have Been The Roses
Oct. 12, 1984
Augusta Civic Center

One of the stronger Must Have Been's ive had the pleasure to hear so far in my journey. heartfelt, dug-in, meaningful. Jerry sounds like a guide to the stars.
Wharf Rat
Nov. 6, 1977
Broome County Arena

Defiantly pristine, forlornly majestic, Wharf Rat. This one is ready to take off the whole time and the ending is ecstasy. The lyric delivery is beautiful and hymnal as well.
Truckin'
Nov. 6, 1977
Broome County Arena

Remarkable Stephen reprise into this stratospheric closer of a 77 show where they don't hold back the big guns, carrying the weight all the way home. Wow, love your anecdote Klaus about Billy's authoritative command to go to Truckin'. Prime, intuitive Dead, one single organism this is. there's few dead moves as badass as sliding into this- entering The other one is the only one that compares in terms of badass late set 2 banger shit.
Feel Like A Stranger
Oct. 12, 1984
Augusta Civic Center

\watery, uber-groovy and burnin' 84 Feel like a stranger, hot interplay and meaty improvisation, purely vibing
Turn On Your Love Light
June 14, 1991
RFK Stadium

Amazing Lovelight, a definitive song for the group.
