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.

tight bucket yields this hoarse , ever so blue hot, blistering version!! Heavy late night express jerry soul rocker, big man sends it, gnarly version.

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

This jed hit the spot for me. nice and slow. And notable for wah wah solo. Keith's playing is melodic and oh so satisfying on this, he's energized. Kreutzmann's cymbal chokes are right on the money too. it's versions like this that show that every May 77 show is worth a listen.

holy moly this is awesome sauce. This is hoss sauce. Bobby is throwing chaw on lead vocals. Jerry Garcia, ladies and gentlemen..... God that second, longer solo is just a work of art, flying across the fretboard a hundred miles an hour, just blistering. The music is playing the band, just listen for yourself. It's kind of hidden in plain sight that the Dead were absolutely on fire in fall '84. I seriously need to check out this show, and more, from that tour. This Jack Straw is simply out of control, one of the best i've ever heard
