- “He’s Gone,” ‘Europe ’72’ (1972) Like everyone in the Dead organization in 1970, Garcia was shocked when t heir manager, Lenny Hart — who also happened to be Mickey’s father — absconded with more than $150,000 of the band’s earnings.
- “New Speedway Boogie,” ‘Workingman’s Dead’ (1970) The disastrously violent Altamont Speedway Free Festival of December 1969 deeply affected the Dead, who helped organize the event but ended up not taking the stage after the chaos turned decidedly ugly.
- “Doin’ That Rag,” ‘Aoxomoxoa’ (1969) On which Garcia reinvents the past: When he was in the pre-Dead jug band Mother McCree’s Uptown Jug Champions, Garcia played the Memphis Jug Band’s 1928 “Lindberg Hop (Overseas Stomp),” whose central chord progression he mutated into this woozy tribute to the ragtime sound (with free-associative lyrics by Hunter).
- “Might as Well,” ‘Reflections’ (1976) This jaunty Garcia solo track immortalizes the Dead’s time on the Festival Express tour, the legendary rail trek through Canada during which they shared stages, alcohol and train cars with Janis Joplin, the Band, Delaney and Bonnie, and others.
