Whopping late '77 version of this, the Dead intuitively coasting the waves of the atmosphere's collective imagination.

Ramble On Rose
Sept. 22, 1993
Madison Square Garden

right in line with the chromatic perfection of all the most extravagantly great 70s ramble solos, this one's pillowy 90's thing does indeed make it an impish, merry jester's hat of a cat in the hat fun version for the nyc peeeeps.... Boy works those lightning bolt FX

Epochal jer performance and fantastic windy, blustery but smooth and elegant accompaniment from the crew, "Heavy Angels"

sugary and magnetic with firecracker energy!! off the charts solo
Throwing Stones

Dean Smith Center

hot version... lean mean savage takes off a la black throated wind and the rousing closing passage chugs like a battering ram. Succeeding the dizzying throng accompanied by stark lunar ravings of meaty tracks within a fine NFA which at moments spirals into ascendant hillbilly psych to close this spring show.
