Totally overlooked. One of the prettiest mid-sections I know of, even if there isn't much of a jam section to it.

Imagine how blown away the freaks were, expecting 'Alligator' and getting this stunning intro into the country Dead.

Really boys? Take the red pill and go back in time to this rowdy show. 2nd ever and Jer nails it after telling the crowd to "shut the fuck up".

Plugged in and slashingly ("thwok! thwok! thwok! thwok")! energetic opener for a rowdy crowd.

Deep sounds from a pivotal moment in Dead History. A treat for AUD lovers.

Deserves more love. Let It Grow just blasts off and leaves your jaw dropped. Hot hot stuff.

48 minute jam starts with Phil and Ned at their tweekiest. You've been warned, if that isn't your bag. (Not me, though, I dig that electric weirdness - you couldn't squeeze my pupils down to normal size even if you tried....)

Drops you through the wormhole right quick, this one. Not a beginner's 'Playin' by any stretch. (Don't try to convince a Dead skeptic with this big beast, oh no.) Goes in and through and out of many dark places, but the whole show is full of very outré jams and this really sets the tone for a big big show.

There's a whole lotta music in here. Listened to it over and over, still finding new things in there. Outstanding, driven, tight and right.

Goddamned double posts again. Sorry.
