Beat it on Down The Line
Sept. 3, 1972
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.

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.

Fillmore East

“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

Dark Star
May 18, 1972
Kongressaal, Deutsches Museum

The German audience was hypnotized this night. A deep dive into the void and all that encompasses it. This took me a while to get the first time around, but the more I listen the more it opened itself up. A spiraling descent into ancient archaic realms that the band have no problem traversing. The bands sinks deep into the abyss as the wizardry and magic of the Dead take hold and puts the audience into a spellbinding trance. What a Dark Star. Subtle.

The musical equivalent of an earthquake. Absolute madness. Criminally underrated.

Use this as evidence if anyone says telepathy isn't real. A truly grotesque whirlwind of sound all melding together to create a cacophony of psychosis inducing schizophrenic jamming. I find it hard to truly capture the scope of this behemoth.
Weather Report Suite
June 28, 1974
Boston Garden

Check out this whole jam sequence when you have the chance. Replaying this one for my 4th of July celebrations. Best version by far.
