11/23/75 boulder: rowdy sounding sunday crowd, ready to boogie. moderate SUGAREE peak, big cheers. if you care about hopkins’ tunings (which i don’t, really), tonight includes very brief BLACKBIRD with garcia noodling along. long audience reaction to FRIEND OF THE DEVIL is comparable to, like, a […]

dramatic ESTIMATED vocal echo, soundboard highlighting weir/mydland dialogue. mega-fast 140bpm EYES has a rare full-band outro jam. even rarer, garcia stays longest before yielding to drumzers. groove-trance hand-DRUMZ with jose lorenzo of brazilian ensemble […]

11/22/85 oakland: 10-minute kermit-voiced SUGAREE flares with garcia lighting. subtle vocal warpage by healy in set-closing 12-minute LET IT GROW, weir getting gnarly while garcia shreds. 61-minute ESTIMATED PROPHET > EYES OF THE WORLD > DRUMZ > SPACE > MORNING […]

11-22-85, Henry J. Hell in a Bucket § Sugaree, New Minglewood Blues § Althea, Cassidy, Dupree’s Diamond Blues # Let It Grow hat dm hit at irate naan A Most. people seemed to favor that show of the three for its spirit and unpre- dictability, but I was floored by the third. Again, the set list reveals nothing par- ticularly spectacular, but everything they touched turned to gold. The “Morning Dew” out of “space” was everything a “Dew” should be — chilling, beautiful, overwhelming; the “Throwing Stones” was at once angry and uplifting; and they played a “Lovelight” with the kind of in- tensity the song demands — Weir didn’t waste any time with a rap, and the band played with the kind of cocky assurance that made the song such a powerhouse in Pigpen’s day.

fond, too, of the alternate ad featuring “rollerball.” pretty harsh review in the san diego reader, though. #nedfreakunite [3/3]
newspaper ad for La Ploma Theatre featuring Rollerball; This Sat. Nov 22 8:30 * 10:30 Ned Lagin & Phil Lesh of the Grateful Dead newspaper review titled Did I Really Like This?

11/22/75 encinitas: the sonic division between lagin/lesh is easier to parse (mostly) with occasional tonal keyboard surfacing amid the bleeps & rumbles (when it’s not a total blesh). lotta chompers, but 2nd piece gets noisy quickly before ranging through full ecosystem of pulses & zones. lesh […]

11/22/75 st. paul: last circulating MISSISSIPPI MOON until ’81, a perfect garcia/hopkins song to me, right in the sweet spot, kind of garcia’s own, hopkins dappling moonlight; the last with garcia’s young voice. RUSSIAN LULLABY clicks up in tempo. 22-minute […]
