Pretty Peggy O
Nov. 20, 1985
Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center

Seemingly looser and jammier than some, with some great musical conversations.

Candyman
July 5, 1978
Omaha Civic Auditorium

Slick, efficient Garcia solo, plus some cool flourishes by the Godchauxs.

Friend of the Devil
June 12, 1976
Music Hall

Perfectly phrased and chosen melody lines from Jerry. Another astonishing FOTD of the era.

Samson and Delilah
June 10, 1976
Boston Music Hall

Phil’s and Jerry’s sixteenth-note runs light up this version with a country-blues twang faintly reminiscent of Cumberland.

Space
June 27, 1983
Poplar Creek Music Theater

Shimmering, dazed Space highlighted by some of Brent’s wildest keyboard tones and textures.

Playin' In The Band

Pacific Coliseum

Oh wow. One of the very best jams I've heard from summer '73. Covers a lot of ground — hard to believe it's only 18 minutes.

Some stellar contributions from Keith here -- but I guess the same could be said for most '73 Dead.
Eyes Of The World

Lloyd Noble Center - University of Oklahoma

Mid-song jamming breaks are unusually long. Lovely and relaxed.

Just keeps going and going! Jerry tears this one up! Insane, really. And... it's back on Archive as of April 2015. :-)

Field House - Seneca College

Jerry just burns this sucker to the ground. Wowee zowee.
