Oakland Auditorium

Jerry and Bobby create a beautiful space before TOO. A conversation in strings. Billy and Mickey create primal, carnivorous music. Hunting music.

Pretty Peggy O

Palais Des Sports

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.

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

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

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Hofheinz Pavilion

Glorious China>Rider. Keith tears the house down as you can feel the entire band catching on to this wave of energy. So good.

HUGE. Colossal isn't even anywhere close to describing how gargantuan this intergalactic space beast is. Incredible.

What is about this show? It's just perfect to me and I am a very hard critic. Just perfect damnit.

Pacific Coliseum

Diving into Summer of 73 and finding that it might be their most dynamic and free flowing improvisational era yet. The exploration prior to 73 has led up to this truly special era of music. This is the absolute goods. Lysergic Acid Diethylamide in pure musical form. Check out this electrifying proto FOTM jam in the middle that transcends time and space. Just listen it really doesn't get better than this. Multidimensional and macrocosmic.

Universal Amphitheatre

This is the pinnacle of Playin's. Severely and utterly under the radar. Mind altering space jams that reach the absolute apex of psychedelic jazz improvisation. Very intense magic going on here. Incredible. To quote quinn_76, woefully underrated.
