This 1978 show - like so many others - will make you shake your head at the Dead's prowess. Throughout, the boys seem bent on stuffing in as many runs and jams as possible, laying it out on every tune, not least the Stagger Lee in the first half. The second half gets rolling with a smoking Scarlet> Fire and includes a monster He's Gone, elemental Other One, and spacious Wharf Rat. Listen to the boys tear it up all night at Grateful Dead of the Day.
On this day in 1994, Branford Marsalis joined the band once again, making for a truly special night of music. Take it all in on this remastered video at Grateful Dead of the Day.
