Pretty Peggy O

Powerful and incandescent. I’ll admit Peggy-O can sometimes bore me, but not this one!

He's Gone
July 28, 1973
Grand Prix Racecourse

Don't let sound quality issues prevent you from hearing this. As fresh and crisp as any of the other fine He's Gones from spring and summer.

They end up running through the “solo” section twice. Both times are as hot as you would expect for ’73.

They Love Each Other

Augusta Civic Center

Brent goes funky with his solo, then Jerry goes lyrical.

Drums -> Space

What sounds like a momentary Let It Grow tease in Space, if you’re listening for something in particular. Powerful and pure Grateful Dead.

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.
