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.

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

Playin' In The Band

Staggering. The dead have been playing for over 3 hours, including a 32-min DS just now, and they still want to go ham on playing in the band. A generous night and lightning-hot, jazzy 73 gig for all to behold!!!!!!

DS->Eyes->PITB, three of rock music's dopest pleasures all in one place tonight in Springfield Mass, site of the invention of basketball. Unreleased, I would have been absolutely losing my mind at hearing this brilliant new Dead tune. but anyway, the jamming on this version is definitely turned on, and tuned in. A notable aspect is the loose modal jamming on the outro material with fluid, dexterous 5/8 riffs echoing throughout this version, going back and forth the dark n' light!!!
