West High Auditorium

This one plays pretty true to form, but a strong, clean, and powerful rendition with nice guitar breakdowns from Jerry.

In a heady show from Alaska, this suite fits perfectly in a sneaky brilliant show

Bringing the Desert to Alaska, this one rocks heavy in the chilliest state!

Perfect closer to a very underrated show! Superb playing by the band, makes for a warm and perfect ending

Pretty rockin' one, fast and bluesy. Just over 4 minutes of smokeshow Dead.

Looks Like Rain

Boston Music Hall

Pretty absurd, honestly. So much raw power delivered and such a sneaky great Phil Lesh performance.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Nov. 17, 1973
Pauley Pavilion - University of California

Phil's bass tone is captured so wonderfully
Feel Like A Stranger

Poplar Creek Music Theater

What a banger
He's Gone
Aug. 13, 1979
McNichols Arena

The back end of this one is perfection; the jam into The Other One is transcendent.
Brokedown Palace

Newcastle City Hall

This could've been the album version and I would've been thrilled. Jerry's solo is so pretty, the vocals are euphoric. The whole tune is just so, so daggone special.
