If it looks like rain and feels like rain, it's probably rain

The Matrix

Some wormholes just require a smaller spaceship. The Hartbeats phase isn't just true Dead, it's essential.

Fast n' bouncy. This whole show (and 2/24) are insanely underrated.

Favorite version. Delivery is so raw and psychedelic. Nasty indeed! Good primer for a next-level DS.

The Matrix

Some crazy inventive jamming after the 9-minute mark where the verse would be. Crystal clear. Such good exposure of the soft jazzy key changes post-verse which are often overloaded with shredding in many versions. You can tell Phil is in his element here. So delicate but it still rips

The Matrix

A lot of people on Archive will diss these Hartbeats shows as "not the Dead", but this quartet is the logical conclusion of their jazzy side. Glad Pig and Bobby came back but these few shows are gold

Pigpen absolutely kills it on this one. Smokin!
