Pretty Peggy O

Stockton Civic Auditorium

Jer sings thrôugh a cold, but the beauty and sweetness shines through. Sounds like he would 10 years later, but with the '78 sound. Full of love.

Roosevelt Stadium

If you can get past the migraine-inducing AUD, this is one rowdy shitkicker that riles up the fun-loving crowd.

One More Saturday Night
Sept. 17, 1972
Baltimore Civic Center

Smokin' hot encore to finish off one brilliant mother of a show. OMSN isn't many folk's fave tune, but this one just rocks hard.

Uncle John's Band

Baltimore Civic Center

This show has biting hardness throughout, then this seems a bit la-la until the 7/4 parts, and that grit returns with crunching nastiness. Excellent!

Me and My Uncle

Baltimore Civic Center

Total badassery. This one bites down hard and has a little menace to it, as befits a song about murder.

Run Run Rudolph
Dec. 15, 1971
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
Dec. 15, 1971
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?
