Space
Sept. 4, 1979
Madison Square Garden

Super heady, effects-drenched Space that suggests what a fall ’79 Dark Star might’ve sounded like.

Promised Land

Winterland Arena

This really gets cookin’! Keith, Billy, and Jerry seem to be playing little rhythmic games, switching up the accents in interesting ways.

Splendid set closer with delightfully boisterous contributions from Keith and a permeating feeling of real joy.

Sweetly melodic outro, well-played. I really enjoyed this Space > Other One > Stella.

Forceful and confident, with rowdy playing from Bobby and Brent in particular.

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.

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. :-)

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