Pretty Peggy O

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

He's Gone

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.

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

Augusta Civic Center

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

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

Here Comes Sunshine
July 28, 1973
Grand Prix Racecourse

Some blazin’ funky jamming here that sounds like something Pig would have rapped over a couple years earlier.
Here Comes Sunshine

McNichols Sports Arena

(Whoops, commented on the wrong version. Damn mobile.)
He's Gone
Dec. 28, 1990
Coliseum Arena

Easy upvote for the mesmerizing post-song jam, which at times sounds plucked from an extended Truckin’ > Other One transition circa ’72.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Madison Square Garden

This really impressed me. I haven’t done a direct comparison with any others, but I can’t remember liking a post-Brent version more than this.
Not Fade Away
Sept. 14, 1978
Sphinx Theatre

Jerry develops — and repeats — an incredible theme in the last few minutes. It is (forgive me if this is heresy) Anastasio-like.
