Sugaree
July 30, 1983
Ventura County Fairgrounds

During this Sugaree, that cranky old beast, The Grateful Dead, wakes up and starts churning, eating all the energy from the crowd, and fire emerges.

Saint of Circumstance
May 16, 1981
Barton Hall - Cornell University

BOOM! We discover on this Spring day we are SAINTS. The band begins climbing a crescendo, and we follow it...and fight the bulls of fate and time

Friend of the Devil
July 4, 1984
Five Seasons Center

beautiful. Rich, luscious tapestries painted, Garcia shimmering inside and out, and Brent scat humming along with his Rhodes for awesomeness

The Other One
March 18, 1988
Henry J. Kaiser Auditorium

Emerging out of space, this Other One has some heat along with Weir's distorted vocals squashing your brain.

Throwing Stones

Henry J. Kaiser Auditorium

A song I rarely listen to, this one has balls. Weir leads the band through a song that would rock a stadium filled with Metalheads, let alone Deadfans

Eyes Of The World
May 13, 1983
Greek Theater

Blistering. I use to dismiss the early 80's and 1983 especially, but this Eyes and this concert (and the other 2 concerts at the Greek for Spring 83) are awesome.

Civic Center

This is a good one. Not much during Spring of 90 is bad.Almost all is solid and energized.
Eyes Of The World

Autzen Stadium, U. of Oregon

A good version. Jerry has some searing guitar lines in this one.
Looks Like Rain
April 4, 1986
Hartford Civic Center

1986 isn't the first year that people think of when it comes to dynamite performances. But this song captures everything amazing about this song you'd want. Howling Garcia leads, howling Weir shrieks, and the band is for at least one song at this show on fire. You must listen to appreciate.
Hell in a Bucket
March 26, 1990
Knickerbocker Arena

One of my favorites right here. Muscle for sure.
