Beat it on Down The Line

Folsom Field, University of Colorado

Jerry’s solo is off the walls crazy. A train going top speed and I promise that train won’t slow down! Great energy here overall.

As Jerry shouts, “You know he had to die.” BANG! A massive gunshot right on rhythm. Great reprise with great drum work from Billy and Mickey.

Jerry takes off and soars. Gets really heavy, and out there FAST. Experimental passages and new themes explored. This is what the Dead do best.

Billy and Mickey flowing in and out of the main TOO rhythms. They’re both putting each other to the test as they really get deep in this one.

“At this risk of being repetitious we’re going to do another song in the key of G.”-Bob Weir. This version is quite sweet. Patchy audio, great version

Rocking the ship back and forward going through tremendous storms and unpredictable waters. A force of nature.

Other One>Spanish Jam>Space>Feelin Groovy>I Know You Rider. Wtffffffffffff I posted a more comprehensive review under the O1 but this standalone Rider is one of the best performed, a true music plays the band moment. You gotta listen for yourself, it's beyond words.

gdtrfb puts it perfectly about how Billy is right on time yet stays ahead knowing where the music will go next. This whole sequence is some of the best music ever made. I imagine this band of pirates setting sail on treacherous and unforgiving waters, the waters going from calm to downright dangerous and the band does everything they can to go with the current. Spiraling down a whirlpool and ending up in this lost civilization underwater, lost in time, forgotten by many, but these explorers take risks, and ultimately find treasure beyond their wildest dreams, deep, deep in the ocean.

Moving in ways I can’t describe. Jerry’s guitar is a true extension of who he is, and what he feels. His guitar speaks emotions he can’t put into words, a very, very beautiful solo that alters your brain chemistry. You have to take a moment to bask in it, it’s really that good.

Barn burner. Jerry’s tone this show is molten lava.
