Phil Lesh (1940-2024) leads The Grateful Dead into “Gimme Some Lovin’”, Berkeley Community Theater, 2 November 1984

On 2 November 1984, at the fifth of six Grateful Dead concerts at the Berkeley Community Theater around Halloween, the band played a conventional second-set opener with "Help On The Way / Slipknot! / Franklin's Tower" and "Lost Sailor / Saint Of Circumstance". Then, instead of going to "Drums" and "Space",  Jerry Garcia went into "Wharf Rat". As that song's final jam began to merge into "Drums", bassist Phil Lesh (1940-2024), with a huge grin on his face, broke into the band's debut performance of the Spencer Davis Group's "Gimme Some Lovin'" (1966) and, in a duet with Brent Mydland, sang on stage for the first time in over a decade.
