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.

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

They Love Each Other

Augusta Civic Center

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

Drums -> Space

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

It Must Have Been The Roses
May 17, 1978
Uptown Theater

Exquisitely played, and the sound of this Seamons matrix is to die for.
The Other One
Nov. 23, 1973
County Coliseum

This brain-rattling is exactly what I needed to get through a trying afternoon.
Morning Dew
Jan. 3, 1970
Fillmore East

Volcanic eruption. Cataclysmic.
Good Lovin'
Jan. 2, 1970
Fillmore East (Late Show)

There’s a lot to love here despite the relative brevity, not least of which is that sassy late ’69 – early ’70 cowbell I can’t get enough of.
Wharf Rat
Dec. 6, 1971
Felt Forum, Madison Square Garden

Wow, this is … where did this come from? Vastly more developed than most other early versions. Edgier and more interesting than many played later.
