Beat it on Down The Line
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

Comments

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 9, 1981
Activity Center - University of Colorado

Leering dominant transition, deeply aromatically brewing and beckoning thee to levitate. Chonky blissful magicks.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Dec. 9, 1981
Activity Center - University of Colorado

Septum-demolishing amounts of energy on a perfect Cassidy>LLR>china rider. Combines the party time crunchiness of the 80s with a cavernous sense of world building unique to the era. Overall just a screamer, huge version with mind splitting phil and fanning thru the roof
Looks Like Rain
Dec. 9, 1981
Activity Center - University of Colorado

double dose of wistful bob in the thick of it at boulder. Flagrantly bad boy tempo and theatrics, Hissing version with fanning all 'round, sermonic coda with rap-esque punch. Deep weir mythos.
Cassidy
Dec. 9, 1981
Activity Center - University of Colorado

Speedy intuitive and gliding coaster of spotless parkside endless cliffs and spheres of airy balance. Biking toward oblivion and whole crew is locked in.
Candyman
Dec. 9, 1981
Activity Center - University of Colorado

Rollicking, "zigzagging" as sleuth put the bird. Just a really awesome take here. Having played candyman 100 times from 78-83 its a hot pocket.
