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

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

Comments

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Sept. 12, 1981
Greek Theater

ole faithful geyser of scarletfire goodness. Soaked in that party time devil may care energy that a lot of 81 performances have, continued from a rowdy set 1, funky unique melt, fire passes a polygraph and seeps in becoming gaseous, intangibly manic.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Sept. 12, 1981
Greek Theater

Glimmery speeding ticket 81 china rider. Fluid poseidon-kissed tiger work
Looks Like Rain
Sept. 12, 1981
Greek Theater

Greek magic, autobahn rendering of a sleazeball sales pitch, everyone on thin ice in time for Phil oppenheimer rituals and overall kung fu. 60% of the time LLR slaps every time. Snowy and beefy unstoppable pedal/rack sound
Bird Song
Sept. 12, 1981
Greek Theater

dark unhinged tunnels of freaky jam on this mammoth lockheed bird
Shakedown Street
Sept. 12, 1981
Greek Theater

Slinky down the steps of the greek, escalator of nasty feverish tone, xxxtra helping of grit
