Oakland Auditorium

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

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.

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.

Use this as evidence if anyone says telepathy isn't real. A truly grotesque whirlwind of sound all melding together to create a cacophony of psychosis inducing schizophrenic jamming. I find it hard to truly capture the scope of this behemoth.

Check out this whole jam sequence when you have the chance. Replaying this one for my 4th of July celebrations. Best version by far.

Happy 4th!
Dark Star
May 25, 1972
Strand Lyceum

Words cannot describe this incredibly abstract and time bending Dark Star. The jam between Keith, Billy, and Phil around the 18 minute mark is one of the best jams I’ve ever heard from the band. This piece of music is a swinging pendulum of deep space exploration and experimentation. Totally awesome.

Just puts you right in that space. Always been partial to 4/24/72 but this one got me as of late. Pure Grateful Dead.
