Good Lovin'
Dec. 31, 1978
Winterland Arena
Blissful dancealong. As clear a statement of what the good times feeling of the later Donna era could sound like. Nice times.

19 minutes, man it gets weird: whistles, gamelans, melodica solo, bird calls, kazoos, explosions: was every one in on the jam? Anyone remember?

Playin' In The Band
Oct. 23, 1971
Easttown Theatre
Adrenaline bursting hard driver. Exciting. Jerry at 3:00 solos in all 720 degrees, just propulsive. Give her a spin.

Not Fade Away
May 3, 1972
Olympia Theater
Flawless trance-inducing NFA with a perfect transition into GDTRFB. Note for note perfect show.

Sing Me Back Home
Sept. 10, 1972
Hollywood Palladium
Perfect. May have the best vocal harmonies of all of them. Not here because of low-level boards? Try headphones, heads.

Scarlet Begonias

Boston Garden
More love here. After a firework-filled Sugar Mag opener, this lovely lady puts the solid groove down. Jerry just gives more and more and more.
Dark Hollow
Sept. 20, 1970
Fillmore East
I try to avoid absolutes, but this is (currently) my favorite acoustic set. Beaut of a Dark Hollow here, folks. Bobby's voice is just perfect.
Big River
May 9, 1977
War Memorial
I'll take this one, thank you. Takes this tune way up over the top with high energy soloing. Great great show.
Big Railroad Blues
Sept. 20, 1970
Fillmore East
Convincing evidence for 1970 this. Brilliant, perfect acoustic Dead.
New Speedway Boogie
July 3, 1970
McMahon Stadium
Okay, I'll take the bait: you got a link that's not on the archive? Let us know. I'd love to hear some rare privileged early speedway dead.
