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.

He's Gone
Feb. 19, 1973
International Amphitheatre

What still exists is superb. We can only dream that one day the rest will show up. Classic 1973 He's Gone, good vocals, starting to stretch out the outro into Truckin'. Give it all a whirl

Absolutely superb. Great Phil solo , tight, directed. A great 2nd set. See also He's Gone>Truckin'>TOO>Eyes of the World>China Doll. Wonderful
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Aug. 22, 1972
Berkeley Community Theatre

This show would be more highly rated if it wasn't for the fact it's in a week of best ever Dead shows! and then just to top it all the week ends with Veneta!!! Poor 22 August. But seriously, if any one knows Dave Lemieux, can we get a box set of this run of shows? I understand that they are part of the returned Betty boards. I urge any fellow Dead heads to set thew time aside to listen to this show esp the Bird Song and BTW, as well as GDTRFB- beautiful.
Mind Left Body Jam
May 19, 1974
Portland Memorial Coliseum

Another fantastic MLB from 1974. This one out of the Mammoth Truckin'>Jam>MLB. This is why the Dead are the best band in the world. Others might play this "style" or that "style" technically better, but for just that all around, to hell with "styles" and let's just play the most mind bending foot tapping stuff-well there's the good old Grateful Dead!
Truckin'
