Shocked that this hasn't been listed! Great energy with some decimating lines from Jerry and Bobby is screaming his big ol heart out. Great version.

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

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.

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

"Well this next one is dedicated to Portland's Skid row, for no reason at all, just to prove my point that life is like a symphony." -Bobby "yeller dawg" Weir

The wonderful reviewers above put it best when describing this transcendent Comes a Time. This whole show needs so much more love.

UNDERRATED. If a Dark Star has a second verse, you are guaranteed a hell of a ride. The jamming before the first verse is THE transitive nightfall of diamonds. Awe inspiring flashes of colors that envelope you into this otherworldly realm. Experimentation is the defining factor of this Dark Star, and while venturing deep into the void, you never feel yourself completely disillusioned with what's going on even at its most frantic. Billy and Phil summon an ancient, chimeric, beast that the band completely unleashes unto the audience. Jerry breaks conventions and melts the audience into a puddle and creates this haunted empty space of inverted colors. A section of music that challenges everything there is to know about music itself. Peak Dead.

What else is there to be said about this masterpiece? The Magnum Opus of Bird Songs and deservedly earns its stripes as one of the best exploratory jam vehicles for the band. Magic in musical form, and swirling soaring jazzy psychedelia that the band embodies perfectly in this once in a lifetime meditative performance. Each note is a drop of rain.

My current favorite Loser, this just hits all the marks for me personally. Emotive and full of unrelenting passion. Just perfect for me.
