U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)

McArthur Court, U of Oregon

Smokin' encore. You know the playing was hot when even this is a scorcher.

Samson and Delilah

McArthur Court, U of Oregon

Smokin little number boosts the second set.

New Minglewood Blues
Jan. 22, 1978
McArthur Court, U of Oregon

Bobby seems on this whole night, and Jerry's tone is unreal.

One of the first Dead songs I ever heard way back in the day. Kicks off a raging Set II.

Hard to Handle

Fillmore East

Hot shit (and that "Okie" is too funny, given the context). It's been on my list, but I haven't heard anything from this run before. Can't wait to tuck in after hearing this!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Nov. 14, 1973
San Diego International Sports Arena

Hot and light at the same time. Some deadly thumps from Phil too!

Some nice playing! Have yet to hear a '73 "HCS" that's not worth a listen.

Totally agree, and there's some beautiful music during the transition. Grendel, you heard this yet?

Hell yeah! It's a thick version with everyone going off on it at once. And listen to Bob go!
