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.

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

This version has grown a lot on me. Jerry’s playing is superbly unique and ferocious especially towards the end. The whole band is just completely locked in, a time where the music plays the band and I feel that they really embodied “Cassidy” An overall powerful and passionate version.

This is heady!! Phil and Bill have a really beautiful conversation during this jam. The whole band is just on, an inverse Dark Star if you will. Super super interesting themes here! Very powerful and spiritual. 73 really laid the foundation for 74 in so many unique ways. 73 is a super psychedelic year for the boys.

Jerry takes the lead during the jam and he does not disappoint. Really explosive playing with ever changing psychedelic and explorative musicianship. Jerry’s en fuego, seriously, killer licks on this one.

Peak dead. A perfect rendition.
