Pretty Peggy O

The Forum

Powerful and incandescent. I’ll admit Peggy-O can sometimes bore me, but not this one!

He's Gone
July 28, 1973
Grand Prix Racecourse

Don't let sound quality issues prevent you from hearing this. As fresh and crisp as any of the other fine He's Gones from spring and summer.

Deal

Grand Prix Racecourse

They end up running through the “solo” section twice. Both times are as hot as you would expect for ’73.

They Love Each Other
Sept. 2, 1979
Augusta Civic Center

Brent goes funky with his solo, then Jerry goes lyrical.

Drums -> Space
Sept. 2, 1979
Augusta Civic Center

What sounds like a momentary Let It Grow tease in Space, if you’re listening for something in particular. Powerful and pure Grateful Dead.

Cold Rain and Snow
Aug. 21, 1980
Uptown Theatre

Powerful opener! These August Uptown shows are amazing. Really digging the Stankiewicz AUD too.
Black Throated Wind
Sept. 28, 1972
Stanley Theatre

A new favorite version? Big crescendo at the end as the song seems to boil over with feeling. “Drowning in you” indeed.
Caution
April 16, 1972
Aarhus University

Caution and UJB weren’t played at this show.
Not Fade Away
March 18, 1977
Winterland Arena

Blazing, but sophisticated, deep, and varied. At times a little mysterious or menacing. One of the very best I’ve heard.
Samson and Delilah
March 18, 1977
Winterland Arena

Jerry and Phil light this one up with 16th notes. One of the more electrifying versions I’ve heard in a while.
