What a crown jewel Pretty Peggy O can be. A truly tender version that washes away all my worries. These 74 versions are quite special.

Me and My Uncle

Palais Des Sports

The Dead take the Parisians through a cowboys surrealist day dream. Check out how both Keith and Jerry are utterly locked into the music.

Blossoms and blooms like a shining red rose. I really love the energy for this show.

1974 and Ship of Fools go together like peanut butter and jelly. Full of emotion. They're really giving their all in this.

Like the breaking of a dam, this just flows at a truly ferocious pace. Jerry is relentless in his playing, the second solo will knock your socks off.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
June 22, 1973
Pacific Coliseum

Such a great, great version. Starts off as curious as a China Cat can get, and openly explores these incredibly serene pockets of melodic themes that transcend even the most casual of listeners. The Feelin’ Groovy jam is one of the most organic I’ve heard in a China>Rider and before Jerry’s solo, Keith completely controls the jam the band being the hive mind and Keith at the center of this. Tender and sweet. A stunner.

I am in awe. This is beautiful, the pure definition of heaven.
Dark Star

Fillmore West

The word psychedelic typical gets thrown around here a lot. A lot of the times it can be used too sparingly, yet this version somehow mangers to be the absolute pinnacle of pure psychedelic music. I can hear the intense trip these guys are having and the magic that ensues is captivating and enchanting. Intense energy.

Oklahoma City Fairgrounds Arena

This, 9/10/74, and 1/2/70 are my all time favorite versions of this tune. The most emotive I’ve heard.

Labor Temple

Sublime and beautifully played. Jammed out to sheer perfection. Do not overlook 60s Dead.
