Laguna Seca Raceway

Audio problems abound, but I quite fancy Jerry's playing in "Scarlet."

Sports Arena

Fast. Tight. Happy. What more could you ask for?

Not Fade Away
July 28, 1973
Grand Prix Racecourse

Be forewarned- the sound quality on this is absolutely brutal, but it's worth it if you can make it through.

Sitting on Top of the World
Dec. 5, 1971
Felt Forum - Madison Square Garden

Out of a killer "DS," and a nice reading of a classic blues tune. Dig those changes!

It's All Over Now Baby Blue

Frost Amphitheatre

I'm entering a Dylan/Dead kick, and it's because of things like this (and the Desolation Row from 5-10-1987).
Touch of Grey

Frost Amphitheatre

You can tell Bobby's effort on the previous numbers lit a fire under the band's butt (and Jerry's vocals).

Again, not usually a fan of this pairing, but both are played quite musically tonight, and Bobby is working his ass off.
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
Oct. 10, 1982
Frost Amphitheatre

I confess that I've become less fond of this song each time I hear it, but this is incredibly musical.
West L.A. Fadeaway

Laguna Seca Raceway

Although I do wish the blessed drummers had stuck with that deep 16th note groove, which kept pushing the beat and deepening the pocket.
