Warfield Theater

Hot outro resolves into a brief contemplative space before yielding to Drums.

Nassau Coliseum

Sparkling, energetic version. The first set of the Nassau run is a great one!

Its All Over Now

Winterland Arena

Grooves smartly with excellent contributions from each member. The whole first set is hot and worth a listen.

Jerry and Donna sound great in this uptempo version. Jerry's solo smokes too, of course.

Sweet bluesy outro jam. Spring ’78 was very good to poor Peter.

FIRE. Exquisitely incendiary primal Dead.

Well worth checking out. This song improved as the year went on, I’d say.

Very unique (and lengthy). I mean, it’s ’95, and the usual caveats apply (somewhat), but this is a good illustration of the band exploring new directions very different from those of just a few years earlier — continuing to evolve, in other words.
Cassidy

Capitol Theatre

Short, as these early versions are, but they really make it count, especially in the closing (in what would become the jam).
Sugaree

Capitol Theatre

Broad, swaying, emphatic. This is really a great version.
