Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
April 1, 1984
Marin County Veterans Auditorium

Steps out unexpectedly from an almost-aborted Miracle. Tight and right jamming.

Mexicali Blues
April 1, 1984
Marin County Veterans Auditorium

Jerry's restatements of the melody throughout his solos are brilliant uptempo marvels.

Playin' In The Band
June 14, 1976
Beacon Theatre

Beautiful, comprehensive statement of where Playin' was at in the beginning of the post-hiatus '76 sound. 20 minutes of love.

Might As Well
June 14, 1976
Beacon Theatre

Lotsa fun rocker with the louche touch becoming of the song. Did Donna ever sound better than Summer '76?

The Music Never Stopped
June 3, 1976
Paramount Theatre

This one's got the goods. Doesn't shred-out at the end, but tight playing, and great vocals all around.

The Other One
May 25, 1977
The Mosque

Beautiful and unforgetable Jerry solo jam transition into a killer Wharf Rat sandwich.
The Same Thing
March 18, 1967
Winterland Arena

Deep and dark Blues roots Dead with a tight and hot jam. All the reasons to listen to '67 are right here.
Dancin' in the Streets
March 18, 1967
Winterland Arena

You can get genuinely lost in this jam. Seems infinite while you're in it. As Proud Walker Justin put it, a fine bit of acid rock, indeed.
Caution
April 17, 1972
Tivolis Koncertsal

Opens up in whole new directions suggesting what might have been had Pigpen stayed with us into the next era. A real gem.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
June 26, 1974
Providence Civic Center
