Hard-charging, uptempo version. Emphatic. Interesting ideas from Phil.

Listen to Phil on this. I love how when you least expect it, he reinvents how to play a song.

Surprised this isn't on here yet. Great mid-'80s plaintive vocals by Jerry, victorious solo.

In this notoriously shaky year there are often gems to be found among the train wreckage. This BEW is an example. Jerry's solo is spot on

Love the laid back feel and Jerry's wiry, ambling sound on 77 NMBs

Good lord. This jam will make you pause in the middle of household chores and forget what you were doing.

The Dead deserve a lot of credit for being willing to play like this relatively late in their career when they were selling out major venues. Even if you're not tripping this DS will widen your pupils
