U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
Jan. 22, 1978
McArthur Court, U of Oregon

Smokin' encore. You know the playing was hot when even this is a scorcher.
15
Samson and Delilah
Jan. 22, 1978
McArthur Court, U of Oregon

Smokin little number boosts the second set.
25
New Minglewood Blues
Jan. 22, 1978
McArthur Court, U of Oregon

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

Death Don't Have No Mercy

Winterland Arena

Surprised not to find this here.

The Golden Road (to unlimited devotion)
March 18, 1967
Winterland Arena

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

Wow. This might be my new favorite. Jerry's vocals are a little wobbly at times, but he's singing with passion, and the band is dialed in.
Unbroken Chain
March 19, 1995
The Spectrum

Jam Base has some cool clips from Lesh's monitor feed from two days before: http://www.jambase.com/Articles/121093/Flashback-Grateful-Dead-Debut-Unbroken-Chain-In-Philadelphia
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 14, 1983
Hartford Civic Center

How has no one mentioned Brent's organ part before the first verse yet?!?
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 9, 1981
Madison Square Garden

Yes. And that AUD sounds great.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
June 14, 1991
RFK Stadium

This was worth it for the 2 minutes listed as "tuning" on the AUD I've been pitching elsewhere, but was less tuning and more a 2 minutes slow exploratory introduction to a "Help > Slip > Frank" of beauty.
