Total time: 09:07:40
Day 01
"Comes A Time"
Hint: A song that first appeared in 1971 and came and went from the repertoire. It was rare enough that it was always a newsworthy song when the Dead played it right up to its final performance in 1994
Cleveland, OH, Cleveland Public Auditorium
1980-08-26
"Comes A Time" appeared in 1971, was played in 1972, and then disappeared until 1976. It showed up occasionally for the next decade, but from 1987 to 1994, it was played only seven times.
Day 02
"Casey Jones," "Sugar Magnolia"
Hint: A couple of very popular tracks from the previous year's twin records, the first was a sporadic addition to setlists until 1993, and the latter was played frequently right to 1995
Iowa City, IA, Iowa Fieldhouse - University of Iowa
1971-03-20
"Casey Jones," from Workingman's Dead, and "Sugar Magnolia," from American Beauty, were two of the Dead's most popular songs. "Casey Jones" was a less frequent part of the repertoire after 1974, but "Sugar Magnolia" was the final song Bob Weir sang with the Grateful Dead, at the last show on 7/9/95
Day 03
"Feel Like A Stranger>Bertha"
Hint: A couple of common first-set openers, here played back-to-back as a double dose of rocking goodness to open an important show
New York, NY, Madison Square Garden
1994-10-19
The two songs that opened the show on 10/19/94 set the show up as a rocker from start-to-end, appropriate for the Dead's final show at Madison Square Garden
Day 04
"My Brother Esau," "High Time"
Hint: An oldie and goodie, preceded by a short-lived first set song
New York, NY, Madison Square Garden
1987-09-16
"My Brother Esau" was only in the repertoire for four years, 1983-1987, with this being one of its final performances. "High Time," however, arrived in 1969 and was played mostly infrequently right up to 1995
Day 05
"Estimated Prophet"
Hint: In its first couple of months, this track was played as stand-alone beauty. After that, though, it opened up at its conclusion, able to segue into any number of songs
Philadelphia, PA, The Spectrum
1977-04-22
When "Estimated Prophet" debuted on 2/26/77, it was played in its own with a tidy ending. On 5/9/77, however, it started going into other songs, most commonly "Eyes Of The World," but also "He's Gone," "Terrapin Station," "The Other One," and others
Day 06
"Saint Of Circumstance>Jam"
Hint: Usually attached to its companion song, this version starts cold, even though it had been preceded by its usual partner. Equally unique, it segues into a magnificent and familiar jam
Kansas City, KS, Soldier's And Sailors Memorial Hall
1979-12-11
Usually coming right out of "Lost Sailor," this rendition comes after a break, and then is followed by a cool "Estimated Prophet"-esque jam
Day 07
"Loose Lucy"
Hint: A song that was around for a couple of years in two very different arrangements, and then disappeared for more than 15 years before making its triumphant return
Indianapolis, IN, State Fair Coliseum
1973-10-27
Debuting in a slow, bluesy arrangement in 1973, "Loose Lucy" was reborn in 1974 with a peppier arrangement that would appear on Mars Hotel. It left the repertoire after 1974, returning on 3/14/90
Day 08
"Scarlet Begonias>Fire On The Mountain"
Hint: Two Garcia-sung classics that were joined in 1977 and stayed together until 1995 with a few exceptions
Philadelphia, PA, The Spectrum
1980-08-30
Until March 1977, "Scarlet Begonias" had always been a stand-alone song since its debut in March 1974, but from the moment "Fire On The Mountain" appeared on the scene, the two songs were joined together
Day 09
"Let It Grow>Might As Well"
Hint: A couple of rockers that often closed first sets, here joined together to end the first set with a real bang
Cincinnati, OH, Riverfront Arena
1976-10-02
From the Dead's second tour of 1976, they ended their first set on 10/2/76 with the new arrangement of "Let It Grow" (without its 1973-1974 parts WRS Prelude and Part 1), along with the new Garcia solo track from his Reflections album, "Might As Well"
Day 10
"I Need A Miracle>Crazy Fingers"
Hint: Rock and Roll and a beautiful ballad joined together in a rare combination to open a second set
Providence, RI, Providence Civic Center
1985-04-04
The first "Crazy Fingers" in a year and a half, it segues out of a rare second set opening "I Need A Miracle"

Day 12
"Dark Star>St. Stephen>The Eleven"
Hint: A trio that made up the bulk of one of the most famous suites in the Grateful Dead's entire performing history

Hint: A trio of songs from throughout the Dead's performing career to end a first set

Day 14
"Playing In The Band>China Doll"
Hint: One song from 1971 that was one of the Grateful Dead's most-played songs, and one song from 1973 that was rare after 1974, and always great when it appeared steadily but infrequently until 1994
Eugene, OR, Silva Hall - Hult Center for the Performing Arts
1983-08-31

Rosemont, IL, Rosemont Horizon Arena
1993-03-09
"Here Comes Sunshine" debuted 2/9/73, and despite being played frequently throughout 1973 and being a standout on the excellent Wake Of The Flood album, it left the repertoire in February 1974. To everyone's joy, it returned in December 1992.
Day 17
"Uncle John's Band"
Hint: A song that was consistently in the repertoire since its debut in 1969 aside from a short absence in the comeback year of 1976, and a two year hiatus from late 1977 to late 1979
San Francisco, CA, Winterland Arena
1977-03-18

"Foolish Heart" debuted in June 1988, Playing In The Band in February 1971, and Uncle John's Band in December 1969. The timeless nature of the Grateful Dead's music allows these three songs to flow together seamlessly
Day 19
"Shakedown Street>One More Saturday Night"
Hint: Two songs, the first of which was primarily a second set (and sometimes first set) opener in its 15+ year time in the repertoire, although in its first year it roamed all over the setlist. The second is one of the Dead's few songs with words and music written by one band member
Amherst, MA, Alumni Stadium - University of Massachusetts
1979-05-12
"Shakedown Street" debuted in the Summer of 1978, and in its first year or so it appeared in plenty of spots in the repertoire, including this performance as the first encore in Amherst. "One More Saturday Night" debuted at Keith's first show on 10/19/71 and was always a rock and roll party
Day 20

Harrisburg, PA, City Island
1984-06-23

Chicago, IL, Auditorium Theatre
1976-06-29

Day 23
"Space>The Other One>Black Peter>Throwing Stones>Playing In The Band"
Hint: A classic end-of-the-second-set sequence with one big curveball in the final slot
Albany, NY, Knickerbocker Arena
1991-03-25
The first three songs coming out of "Space" were quite standard in their positioning, but everyone at the Knick this night was surprised when they followed "Throwing Stones" with the "Playing In The Band" reprise, closing the "Playing In The Band" they'd played at opening night of this three night run in Albany
Day 24
"They Love Each Other, Cassidy, Tennessee Jed, Let It Grow>Don't Ease Me In"

Day 25

San Francisco, CA, Winterland Arena
1969-10-26
