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

PEWWWW a face-melter. Holy smokes, that was an amazing stand-alone 70's LIG that had this crowd in the palm of a particularly mischievous and volcanic Dead's hand. A riotous version essential for "face-spacing"

Ripping version, clarion version of this cut.. Absolutely slamming!!!! We love intimate college gigs, from columbia, harpur to montana 74, illinois 78 and this barn burner shred fest set 1

Here Comes Sunshine

Boston Music Hall

Don't sleep on this loping, winding version. Lots to say about Here Comes Sunshine, which has a version that basically made Dick Latvala start Dick's Picks, see Tampa 73. I'd venture to say this jam comes close to that take
