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.

Cryptical Envelopment

49th Street Rock Palace

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.

The Other One

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

Jack A Roe
May 13, 1977
Auditorium Theatre

Yeah, this is a good one. I always love a great Jack a Roe and this certainly qualifies. The music embodies the words.
The Other One
June 12, 1970
Civic Auditorium

MONSTEROUS. The drums after cryptical are completely demented and full of unnatural power. Mickey and Bill embody the Ouroboros. Very formless, at times reminds me of My Favorite Things. Love Bobby's energy on this too. Plain awesome. The drum solo made my day. Thank you for the suggestion cgarces.
Eyes Of The World
June 28, 1976
Auditorium Theatre

Start from here to experience a truly life changing jam. Blissful Eyes that really gets out there. A whirlwind of imaginative melodic ideas that leads into a deep jam introduced by Phil with his monumental tone as the drummers take us into deep space, only for us to find that happiness is indeed drumming. Stellar. Check out Hunters Trix for the best sounding version of this show.

Why I love the Grateful Goddamn Dead.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Hofheinz Pavilion

Glorious China>Rider. Keith tears the house down as you can feel the entire band catching on to this wave of energy. So good.
