Train rippin' down the hot coals of the 1973 track.

Drums

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

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

Wembley Arena

Smokin' and refined version of this deep cut, on "All Hallow's Eve" as a chap might say

Might As Well
Nov. 5, 1977
Community War Memorial Auditorium

Insanely heady, this could have been a Dead standard. Ingenious and riotous solo Jerry tune that crosses over into laid-back jammy greatness and back into garage mode
New Minglewood Blues
Nov. 5, 1977
Community War Memorial Auditorium

hot 77 Minglewood rave up right out of the gate tonight in Rochester
Eyes Of The World
Dec. 6, 1973
Public Hall

Omg, the DS->Eyes compilation is mind expanding and feels like waking up after a dream and wandering into the morning light. 14 minutes of ambient rip.
Dark Star
Dec. 6, 1973
Public Hall

a roller coaster above stratospheric or ozone levels. This is definitely getting your master's in Dead U. this version is absolutely unreal, its one i think of when trying to recall the freakiest depths of structural nothingness that gave some of their pre-hiatus "Out" material that edginess.
Ramble On Rose
Dec. 6, 1973
Public Hall

Slinky, timeless, ever transcending and just wobbling on either side of a shot coin or rail. Soulful jerry. been thinking about this tune a lot recently, actually. What does it mean? let's be honest, absolutely nothing. All the same, it feels like it is completely within the fabric of american culture, somehow. it's brilliant stuff.
