Sweet Jerry vocals. A delicate ship setting sail into the post 1974 seas. Good harmonies from Bob and Donna. An overlooked show from an overlooked yea

One of best of 1974. Tight, Jerry inventive and confident, good soloing. Everything a Deal should be. Give it a listen.

Comes out of a MLB jam, a big fat mellow groove sets out what is one of those weeks of really good versions.

Just listening to this and downloading the whole show. What a way to start. This H>S>F needs more listens and a lot more up votes. 29 minutes of bounce and bliss. 1977 Jerry on fire and the whole band roaring along behind.

However, the date is Feb 3rd. No tapes for the first set of 5/2/78 seem to be around.

Just recently, I have discovered 1960's Dead! What a revelation ,so different from 1972-1978 which is my usual stomping ground. Love Cosmic Charlie.

Berkeley Community Theatre

Carrion crow is ,as usual, spot on. The whole week running up to Venata has good Bird Songs(and good about everything else as well). This is an excellent B.S but whole show is superb.
