Winterland Arena

Buzzing and crackling and just a wee bit manic. Early 1st set and the party is raging. Fun and wild.

Sublime and mysterious. A beauty.

Perfect fun, with great organ work and the '70 sound. Pig says, "I'd thank you to not use no dirty words in the public" which cracks me up, too.

Fast and relentless. This one has power behind it.

Deep and dark with strong emotional jams. Lots of great Peters around this time.

I Know You Rider

Alfred College

Immense Depth. We all know/love china>rider, yes me too. But listen to this Rider on its own and therein find a key to the immense depth to this band we love called the Grateful Dead.
Playin' In The Band
Sept. 9, 1974
Alexandra Palace

Show doesn't get much love, but this Playin' has everything in it except a complete meltdown. Good solid groove throughout with many stages, just as coralsandbelow put it.
Dark Star

Musikhalle

Symphonic arcs in this stellar example of why '72 Stars are so well loved. Rises, falls, rises again: melodic strands sneak into the melty bits, and all along they all just seem perfectly in sync. Needs several listens to appreciate just how truly epic (a word I don't use lightly) this one really is.
Eyes Of The World
Aug. 6, 1974
Roosevelt Stadium

I can't stop listening to this. Really, it's been like four days straight and it just blows me away each time.

Friends don't think the Dead rock hard? Or that they're just 'a bunch of hippies'? Want to convince a metalhead that the Dead had been there and done all that over 40 years ago? Want to blow your freakin' mind? Here's your boy right here.
