March 28, 1994
Nassau Coliseum

Really inspired, a kicking wisteria ode to the crackle of 72 versions. Long island love, big man goes off in this one, walls of devils too

New Minglewood Blues
Jan. 11, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

You should because this version isn't here to joke around. You can practically smell icicles of high-grade Colombian coke in the driving motorik majesty of this
Deep Elem Blues
May 2, 1970
Harpur College

Yep. This while smelling some smoke from a faroff stove, pine needles wafting, briskly walking with a mask with DP8 in tow
Friend of the Devil
Jan. 11, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

Oh my freaking lord. As long as the "post-hiatus" version, so to speak, of friend doesn't scare ya, how about 10 minutes of simmering crock-pot harmonies and pent up rage? Feels like dead on codeine syrup, or perhaps in the crevice of other journey experiences (prticlr lysergically), a curlicuing '79 versh. Impeccable. It's a hot jerry night and he's ramping up the soul in the atmosphere of the evening, which the Dead set as a brusk and bold painter casts the backdrop of a sumptuous ballet. the AUD is sick too, deep thick fukin cassette bass tone
Pretty Peggy O
Jan. 11, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

Vivaciously wondrously and temptatious, glistening version. Crazy gig from just before godchauxz split
Sugaree
Jan. 11, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

Vibing out to a chunky and crystal clean AUD, nice patient brilliance in this Sugaree, the kind of tune that scratches the itch that many heads out there crave, i'm sure.
