Unusual, long Space for the era. Fans of Feedback will enjoy this one.

Carnival of sounds and textures. Wild stuff.

Pummeling version with Phil cranked UP in the mix.

Kiel Auditorium

The whole band creates a seamless, burbling groove. (Listen for Phil pushing through the small spaces Bobby leaves.) Mesmerizing.

Kiel Auditorium

The short, country-style numbers sound so good in this set. There's a lot of good music in this show even before the big jams arrive.

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.
