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
Oct. 20, 1978
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.

The Spectrum

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

Shakedown Street

Soldier Field

A few passages transported me back to a Good Lovin’ jam from 20 years earlier, which I was not expecting. Anyway, this is great Grateful Dead.
The Music Never Stopped
May 3, 1977
The Palladium

Verrrry sharp, hot jam. Check out the great MOTB AUD.
Bird Song
Aug. 5, 1971
Hollywood Palladium

Brisk, understated, lovely. I need to do more exploring, but I can’t recall enjoying a ’71 Bird Song more than this.
Queen Jane Approximately
April 2, 1990
The Omni

Check out 3/28/90 if you like this one. The immediate preceding version, it’s just a little sharper to my ears.
Terrapin Station
Dec. 28, 1980
Oakland Auditorium

A strong outro and, especially, a charming ambient jam into Drums make this version a keeper.
