Monterey Fairgrounds

Sandwiched between the Who and Jimi Hendrix the Dead were still able to rock out a tasty festival-sized Viola Lee Blues at this legendary event.

Serious mindbender here. The faster we go, the rounder we get.

Nobody's Fault But Mine

Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

Jerry sings this one with near desperation; from Truckin into the Other One with a sick jam this show just keeps on giving...

Dane County Coliseum

Beautiful soaring solo from Garcia and Brent also stands out in this ensemble gem...

"I can sniff you out, like a trackin' hound...", huge jam with breath-taking moments and China Cat in between, absolutely gorgeous....

Playin' In The Band
July 27, 1974
Civic Center

This Playin' is balls to the wall. Uptempo breakneck pace all the the way through. Bill K is a pure force of nature. Delivers every listen . No Donna scream; don't have to turn your system down, 5 stars !!!!!

Best transition into DDHNM. Hard, gripping, ripping, focused, trance inducing, flooring...my favorite! This whole jam is perfect...can't believe this isn't voted higher.

Nassau Coliseum

This one never lets up throughout; no stops for feedback or noise, just the whole band dripping one power psychedelia all the way through. Definitely heady!
Stagger Lee
Dec. 31, 1978
Winterland Arena

Overall a great version; the best I have heard. Jerry's solo perfectly nails the Stagger Lee melody and the whole vibe is just right.
