Mission in the Rain
One of the best Dead songs, short lived but a good life it was
9
Sugaree
All the all-time Sugarees from early 77 start here folks, and they're already sublime. Keith shines.
11
They Love Each Other
Reeeeeaaaal smoooooooooth. . . .
25
Playin' In The Band
Spacey and crazy Playin in the Band gets real wierd fast before dissolving into absolute space
7
Dancin' in the Streets
Another fabulous and funky 1976 Dancin' Super disco funk on this one, Hot
7
Row Jimmy
I am well aware that the cliche, "I can't believe this version hasn't been mentioned yet!!" is well played out...But
13
Friend of the Devil
Just about perfect
11
Let It Grow
Liquid
9
The Music Never Stopped
Airtight version with perfect orchestration. Especially sweet vocals with Donna Jean at her best. Never quite lifts off in the jam though.
9
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
I suppose everyone knows the one the night before, but this one is tighter & more overwhelming in that all-encompassing 7/4 mindmelt way.
19
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
So many brilliant ones, but you're missing a real treat if you count this one out. Particularly strong Franklin's but the Slipknot! is brilliant too.
5
Big River
Super up tempo and thoroughly rocking Big River, can't even believe it hasn't been posted yet. CHECK THIS SHOW!!!
7
Brown Eyed Women
1976 goodness
8
Looks Like Rain
Surprised this version isn’t listed
4
Promised Land
Great show opener
2
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
Well-played encore, sounds incredible too
6
Samson and Delilah
Phil’s and Jerry’s sixteenth-note runs light up this version with a country-blues twang faintly reminiscent of Cumberland.
3
Might As Well
How is this not listed?! I realize all the June 76 versions were great but this is mind-blowing!
