Cassidy

Uptown Theater

Very heady jam segment in this one. Show is a sleeper from May

Cassidy
May 14, 1978
Providence Civic Center

The latter half of a great on-two punch to kick off the show (1/2 step preceding), this Cassidy is an absolute bute. Bob/Jer communication is tight

New Minglewood Blues
May 12, 1980
Boston Garden

Jerry rips a sick intro solo. Hyped up energy

Feel Like A Stranger
May 12, 1980
Boston Garden

The 'butt sweat' meter is off the charts for this. Great Brent work and killer peak

Feel Like A Stranger
March 31, 1984
Marin County Civic Center

Funky stuff. Jerry makes some excellent licks and Brent has fine supporting contributions. Heady, for sure

The Eleven
Aug. 24, 1968
Shrine Auditorium

Tizzy of frantic jamming, then boils down into a bluesy goo > flawless transition to Death Don't Have
Bertha
Feb. 19, 1971
Capitol Theater

BIG bounce to this one. Amped UP
Easy Wind
Feb. 19, 1971
Capitol Theater

Some real bouncy blues and sharp Garcia licks. This one is fantastic
Promised Land
March 26, 1987
Hartford Civic Center

Even the Promised Land cranks in this show. Big ending peak and crowd is going bonkers
When Push Comes to Shove
March 26, 1987
Hartford Civic Center

On paper, this first set gets a "meh" and a shrug, but I cannot stop listening to it on the latest Dave's. Every song is given the proper treatment and the boys are ON. This song, one I never gave any real attention to, is played with power and joy. Now I wish they played it more often - has the bounce similar to "Might as Well" - I def dig it
