Not Fade Away
March 12, 1981
Boston Garden

Ace has been conducting an improv symposium this whole night. Basically a proto-Wolf Bros show

He's Gone

Boston Garden

Rolfe AUD tape, someone's son is screaming for this tune through a good part of Set 1. Are you happy now?

Drums -> Space
Nov. 26, 1980
The Sportatorium

I usually do not care about Drums>Space...it's my time to have a cigarette and a wizz, in concert OR at home. But this rips.

Saint of Circumstance

Radio City Music Hall

Wheel > Saint > Peter. Who had that on their bingo blotters? Doubt all were on the same page here...Bobby puts in the extra effort to justify the call

Estimated Prophet

Radio City Music Hall

Between equipment troubles, tempo disagreements, and a false start...this Prophet was fated to release itself in a deformed, chaotic expression.

New Minglewood Blues
March 30, 1980
Capitol Theatre

Coming out of the debut of Far From Me (first time he sang a lead?), Brent really had to win the crowd back and delivered Aces.

Oakland Auditorium

Jerry really cooked himself through this show..(odd?) night off 12-29 and pretty uninspired on 12-30. Recharged for NYE but can't top this one.
Row Jimmy
Dec. 28, 1979
Oakland Auditorium

Having some stereo/streaming trouble, so I had to back up and listen to this cut about 10 times. Never my favorite tune...but never say never and Row Jimmy Row.
Franklin's Tower
Dec. 31, 1979
Oakland Auditorium

To hell with lyrics and to hell with the dusty 70's. We want hard shreds and funky jams, and we're damn well gonna get it for the next 10 trips 'round.
Jack Straw

Oakland Auditorium

Sun so HOT tonight!! Past 2 nights of the run were a little stiff...knew we were saving the fire for NYE. Welcome to the 80's...fast approaching the best few years of the Dead (come at me and NFA)
