This is a real nice version of Baby Blue to close this '84 show. Super yummy Dylan cover.

"Come to Daddy on an inside straight!" Jerry belts it out nicely on this one. Good version!

I'm listening to this one in headphones right now & it's super cool. Dead were ahead of their time with experimental, ambient, electronica.

Amazing! Should be higher!
New Minglewood Blues

Fillmore East (Late Show)

Incredible ‘70 Minglewood. Early Minglewoods have incredible energy and aggression. Much better than later versions IMHO, but rough on Bobby’s vocal cords when done in this style. I see why they slowed it down to a more laid back groove & delivery.

Excellent late version of this. Rocks! Should be higher!

Jerry's solo shreds, his voice fits the lyrics perfectly, Hornsby's fills are beautiful and Phil's bass is way up front. Should be higher! Great late Stella.

It's hard to find a great version of Liberty because of what was going on with Jerry at this time, but this is a real nice version. I like this song. It's a grower.
