Fox Theatre

Unique transition jam with a two-chord quarter-note striking pattern before IKYR. Band hits its stride in the set here.

Smooth as liquid smoke. Beautiful recording and great show, complete with weirdness from Grace Slick. A few tape glitches, but worth it.

Hometown benefit show with a nostalgic feel for the '70 sound that just smokes here.

Peak era for GSET. Jerry spontaneously combusts into a string-shredding inferno.

Extra-special sauce on this one: The outro goes into a long unique jam before the gospel bit. The band is completely unified.

Fast, tight and pure. Jer shreds, Bobby's on, the Devils are relentlessly perfect. This is great stuff.

A nice rocker with a beautiful, soulful jam coming out of the hella-outrageous Lovelight. Great end to an awesome show.

Quinn_76: Check out the Rambler Room show from November 17, 1978 for an amazing short acoustic set that will bliss you quite sweetly, friend.

Sorry for double post, but now I'll just say it. This is the big bomb. Really: this is atomic fire, the melting of suns, the collision of Dead galaxies. Harder wilder more explosive Dead I defy anyone to find.

Am I insane for saying that the TOO and 2nd Cryptical are harder acid metal than anything ever performed by Sabbath or Zep or ??? Jer shreds too hard. Must have really freaked out a few with this scary ride.
