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.

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.

Some *funky* playing by Keith before the Stephen jam, too.

SMOKING! What was this doing with just one vote when I got here?
Not Fade Away
July 7, 1978
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

I heard MLB for a few seconds right before the pivot to Nobody’s Fault. It’s there.

This is an exquisite Peter from a great year for that song.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
March 28, 1993
Knickerbocker Arena

My only complaint? The Fire, although hardly slight at 12 minutes, sounds like it could have gone on for a few more. The inspiration is seemingly right there.
