He's Gone

Sacramento Memorial Auditorium

Sweet outro on this one. Donna's got the sweet harmony and Phil with the bass vox makes it pretty kind.

Me and My Uncle
Aug. 12, 1972
Sacramento Memorial Auditorium

MAMU is so often overlooked, but this one is hiding in plain sight. Hard jumpin' rocker here with a savage pulse, and great banter after.

Sugar Magnolia

Paramount Theater

After the ultra-outre Dark Star, this pure rock and roll distillate is just perfect goodness. A burner with Billy hard charging in 4-wheel drive.

You Win Again

Note for note perfect. The only reason it isn't here yet is that the shows between Europe and Berkeley/Veneta are too often overlooked.

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

Paramount Theater

Possibly the highest energy piece in the whole show. An excellent jam that left the crowd smiling, for certain.

Run Run Rudolph

Hill Auditorium

A fun rare bit of Chuck Berry's often-overlooked influence on the Dead (and all of Rock and Roll, for that matter).
Hurts Me Too

Hill Auditorium

Proof that Pig and Keith went together like potatos and gravy. Pig's voice harp solo are just tops.
Playin' In The Band
Dec. 12, 1973
Omni Coliseum

Like much of '73 this is what I call "hot mellow". Energetic but nicely spacey. Cool version.
Dark Star
Dec. 6, 1973
Public Hall

Oh man, now that's a great Dark Star. Love when Phil just phases in around 12:00 (and again at 19:00) like you're abandoning gravity. That this kind of music was performed live is just too fucking cool for words, but hey, I like Seastones, too.
Here Comes Sunshine
Dec. 6, 1973
Public Hall

Any advice on versions without that glaring AUD patch at the end?
