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.

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.

“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

Happy 4th!
Dark Star

Strand Lyceum

Words cannot describe this incredibly abstract and time bending Dark Star. The jam between Keith, Billy, and Phil around the 18 minute mark is one of the best jams I’ve ever heard from the band. This piece of music is a swinging pendulum of deep space exploration and experimentation. Totally awesome.

Just puts you right in that space. Always been partial to 4/24/72 but this one got me as of late. Pure Grateful Dead.
The Other One
Feb. 28, 1973
Salt Palace

Medieval and Mythical. Holy space is indeed the perfect way to describe this ascending jam. Just goes as high as it can possible go and reaches truly unbelievable heights. Takes you to the top of mountains and in an instant will shoot you straight into the center of the Earth’s core. Real musical freedom and voodoo magik jammimg near the end to transition into a lovely and reflective Eyes. Truly massive version.

Deep space Truckin’. The Other One creeps up with much intensity. Coming in at the speed of light, the jams are as fluid and dynamic as you can get.
