One of my favorite renditions. Crazy, psychedelic, and propulsive. 1988!!

Serene and beautiful. A salve for sore ears.

The Music Never Stopped

Delta Center

Actually one of my favorite versions of this song, from a truly great show. The Dead still played some incredible concerts in early '95.

Bobby's got a great guitar tone here, and this is a great, energetic version.

Spring 1990 versions of this song are the best!

Viola Lee Blues

Winterland Arena

HOLY FUCKING SHIT. Not for the faint of heart.
Playin' In The Band
Feb. 3, 1978
Dane County Coliseum

Spacey as hell! Disc 2 of Dick's Picks Vol. 18 is some of the best of 1978.
Playin' In The Band
May 26, 1993
Cal Expo

The Victim > Crazy Fingers > Playin' segment from this show is the highlight of Road Trips Vol. 2, No. 4. Weird, dark, crazy stuff. The best '90s version of this song that I've heard by far.
Hell in a Bucket
March 26, 1990
Knickerbocker Arena

Definitive version. Nothing short of electrifying.
New Minglewood Blues
April 29, 1971
Fillmore East

Impossibly hot. Never heard anything close to this version. Bobby's vocals are killer, Pigpen is on fire, and the entire band is locked in!
