Rocks & roars, fast & sweet, out of deep space & eerie Terrapin, soars into healthy Wharf Rat...

Ebbs, flows & builds! Feels kinda funny to mention after chats of '77 Sugarees and Alaska a week away but this whole show is brilliant!

Terrapin Station
June 13, 1980
Seattle Center Coliseum

Rises from an earthly, eerie place, climbs to a wild, arcane battle. Surreal urgency after ridicous China-Rider-CC....

Uncle John's Band
Nov. 10, 1973
Winterland Arena

EPIC. EPIC. EPIC. This sequence, done perfectly from time to time, is one of those things that makes the Good ‘Ol Grateful Dead the finest band in the land. When the gorgeous Dew segues seamlessly back into UJB, then finds its way back to that Playin’……it’s as epic as any piece of music ever recorded, as powerful as anything Mozart, Beethoven, whatever, whoever, ever composed! I kid you not at all! And…. Epic is not a word to be used lightly!!!

Seriously! This is so amazingly just about exactly right! I totally forgot I wrote comment here already, came here to write about how we have a lot of versions way over 100 points, etc. Then realized I didn’t even vote for this one!! LOL!

A tsunami from a ghostly symphony!!! It surges, ebbs and flows. The transition is phenomenal. The whole shebang is brilliant!!

Fillmore West

Both Crypticals (the intro and the outro) are total scorchers on this night!!!!! As Bill Graham calls them at the start of this brilliant piece of music, the Last of the Gay Desperadoes were capable of being the greatest hard rock band in the world. Or as Miles Davis said, they were just a brilliant jazz band who played rock…..
