Deal

Olympiahalle

The first several songs of the show are AUD only, but the performances, as in this Deal, are note perfect.

Jack Straw
Sept. 14, 1974
Olympiahalle

As hot as the other blazing Jack Straws from late ’74. Don’t miss out on these wild first set performances.

Brimming with confidence, this version has noticeable snap /-

Samson and Delilah

These super fresh June '76 Samsons are delightful. Don't overlook this one.

The old encore favorite is executed with both ease and precision. Clean, bright Brokedown here.

Dancin' in the Streets
Jan. 7, 1978
Golden Hall

Very jammy. Quite conceivably what an early ’78 Dark Star might have sounded like.
St. Stephen
Oct. 15, 1977
Moody Coliseum - Southern Methodist University

This had me cranking the volume. Excellent jamming. Also give 1/11/78 a try.
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
Dec. 7, 1981
Des Moines Civic Center

I’m not sure I hear it as Supplication, but the jam out of Saint into Drums is indeed excellent.
Space
May 11, 1977
St. Paul Civic Center Arena

I dispute GDM’s labeling of this as Space — ’77-’78 had a lot of solo Garcia moments, just like Phil was prone to stepping out in ’72-’73 or Bob/Brent before drums in the early ’80s — but it’s a magnificent moment.
Uncle John's Band
May 11, 1977
St. Paul Civic Center Arena

What a mood this second set finds itself in. The UJB jam melting into that solo Garcia meditation is the purest distillation.
