Train rippin' down the hot coals of the 1973 track.

Drums
April 12, 1978
Cameron Indoor Stadium

Can't believe I'm submitting this. Long and fun drum circle that's notable because our Jer Bear whips out a steel pan and joins in.

It Must Have Been The Roses
Oct. 31, 1990
Wembley Arena

Jerry tearing the standards book asunder with this elegant poetic brilliance

Big River
Oct. 31, 1990
Wembley Arena

For a few minutes wembley in '90 becomes the fillmore in the summer of 1970, the way the Dead just slide into a no-nonsense Big River. Shivers

Wembley Arena

Smokin' and refined version of this deep cut, on "All Hallow's Eve" as a chap might say

Morning Dew
Nov. 22, 1985
Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center

special delivery drums>space>dew deluxe, extra sauce. Phenomenal stuff from mickey and bralove/jerry/weir takes on spectacular lyrical beauty. The Dew is bombed out and demented, leans into the ravaged side of it. scrawling breakup poems by a demolition site, filthy industrial brine clogging your lifeways leading you to take solace in the abyss of an infinite unknown keeeping you at arm's length from love.
Eyes Of The World
Nov. 22, 1985
Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center

Phil has to conduct the devils to get them ready for this tsunami of nasty rippling autobahn eyes, pastry's cooked just in time for Tiger to finish the manuscript and the whole brew to write the human translation in real time. cosmic theatre.
Let It Grow
Nov. 22, 1985
Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center

serious one. Frenzied and chaotic. Everest invoking depths of buildup and release. Resplendent with wacky midi and interjections of different rhythmic possibilites.
Stella Blue
Dec. 4, 1979
Uptown Theater

hits it. Glimmering noir canal reflections of swimming mercury tones
Not Fade Away
Dec. 4, 1979
Uptown Theater

chiming textures and dizzying geography. Best NFA i've heard in a hot second.
