U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
Jan. 22, 1978
McArthur Court, U of Oregon

Smokin' encore. You know the playing was hot when even this is a scorcher.

Samson and Delilah
Jan. 22, 1978
McArthur Court, U of Oregon

Smokin little number boosts the second set.
25
New Minglewood Blues
Jan. 22, 1978
McArthur Court, U of Oregon

Bobby seems on this whole night, and Jerry's tone is unreal.

Death Don't Have No Mercy

Winterland Arena

Surprised not to find this here.

The Golden Road (to unlimited devotion)
March 18, 1967
Winterland Arena

One of the first Dead songs I ever heard way back in the day. Kicks off a raging Set II.

Morning Dew

Baltimore Civic Center

I've been conditioned to hear that transition out of Eyes into China Doll (and for a second it sounded like they weren't sure which one they were going to hit). It's a yowza of a Dew!
Eyes Of The World

Baltimore Civic Center

They got the groove right on.
Me and Bobby McGee
March 26, 1973
Baltimore Civic Center

This is one of those instances where Bobby's cowboy song fits just right into what's going on in the set, and Garcia's particularly sensitive behind him.
Wharf Rat
March 26, 1973
Baltimore Civic Center

When they get the tempo of Wharf Rat just right, it's eerie how similar it sounds to Dark Star.
Truckin'

Baltimore Civic Center

Killer stuff. The transition and jam on the WRS material are all-time.
