Coliseum Arean

Another strong version from Brent's last year. Colorful with a swirling energy.

Breakneck speed and blazing energy!

Phil and Billy really drive this one. Astonishing energy.

Jack Straw
Nov. 17, 1971
Albuquerque Civic Auditorium

There’s something about the pluck of this early version. Fresh and surprising even if you’ve heard a billion Jack Straws.

Berkeley Community Theatre

The most active, detailed ’72 Jack Straw I can recall.

Touch of Grey
July 3, 1988
Oxford Plains Speedway

Close to perfect. Succeeds as an ’80s pop performance as well as, you know, Grateful Dead.
Truckin'
July 5, 1978
Omaha Civic Auditorium

You’ll be tempted to up-vote just for the way Phil sings “busted.”
Around and Around
July 7, 1978
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

I’ll echo that. Around and Around is not one of my favorites, so believe me when I say this one is worth hearing.
Truckin'
June 16, 1990
Shoreline Amphitheatre

Crisp but hard-charging jam. LTGTR > Truckin’ > Touch is a hell of a way to open a show!
Uncle John's Band
Oct. 12, 1984
Augusta Civic Center

You think you know where it’s gonna go ... you don’t! This one really manages to surprise.
