10
China Cat Sunflower
First time China Cat Sunflower. Actually a 4:49 Dark Star>China Cat >The Eleven (1st time also) . Very experimental and rocking version.
11
Spanish Jam
First ever SJ, and possibly my new favorite! This incredible jam just keeps building and does not let up once for the entire 16 minutes!
3
The Other One
Really sweet embryonic version. The Cryptical Reprise gets pretty far out!
6
Morning Dew
heavy!
4
Turn On Your Love Light
Blazing start to an awe inspiring, historically massive show. It's pure. Pig and Bobby are especially fun during the hocket (vocal back and forth).
6
The Eleven
First version, out of the first China Cat ever. Epic show. Pigpen is on fire the whole night.
2
Born Cross Eyed
It rocks. A tight first Born Cross Eyed after a pretty rough New Potato Caboose. Love the '68 sound.
3
Dark Star
First-Live version. Whips right into China Cat. It deserves a listen.
2
Cryptical Envelopment
Intense psychedelic primal dead, typical short 1968 intro nice jam on the reprise
3
New Potato Caboose
Super early version delicious as always what ear candy this psychedelic acid drenched beauty is.
