Muscular and punchy. Jer sings it right on: kicked my eye and kicked my dog, midnight train. Energy reigns.

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

Easttown Theatre
Contains everything and could stand alone as an epic GDTRFB, even as part of its trad NFA sammy. Great speed work from everyone, builds and builds.

"Kicked my eye and he blacked my dog". Like others this night, the vibe is aggressive and rowdy, knifey jagged soloing, this one's a killer.

Introduced as"kind of a death and destruction song", which tells you all you need to know.

Outrageous, hot, and pumped up. Should have been of this list a long time ago.

Avalon Ballroom
A cappella finish after someone apparently kicked out their instrument amps right at the end. Good old Grateful Dead just said "F. it, let's keep singing". Love it.

Real blues. Pigpen was on this night and the show belongs to him.
Wharf Rat
July 21, 1974
Hollywood Bowl
Thanks MerryJerry Wacked: You're right. This is an exploratory, muscular and gorgeous version. Seems they were putting a lot of energy in this song all tour. Brother Bertrando left us a great AUD not to be missed.
Playin' In The Band
July 21, 1974
Hollywood Bowl
An absolutely smoking, brilliant Playin'. A wild ride full of the wheels within wheels of groupmind. Sounds like they could have been headed into a MLB jam before they arrived at Wharf Rat. And the reprise kicks serious ass.

May - June '74 Wharf Rats just slay me. This one is so beautiful. My god, is it beautiful.
