Cumberland Blues
Feb. 6, 1970
Fillmore West

With that fresh brilliance of its time. The show starts with country bluegrass, goes blue, then psychedelicore: A perfect '70 combi.

Hot burner, with Pig's voice just perfect. He drives everyone to higher and higher vocal heights.

I love the hard chargers, but this one is different: Almost mellow with a slow simmering groove. Cool, not hot. Check it out.

Cumberland Blues

Yeah the Dark Star's cool... but did you hear the Cumberland?!? It's like they each had 100 fingers.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Nice and tweaky. But how about his manic-mouse pizzicato background around minute 3:00. Throughout this show it seems like they're having a blast.

Goddamned right hvd Sleuth. I love it when some of the so-called "filler" songs crackle and pop and remind you why the Dead were the finest band in the land. This one comes off a "dynamite" (Phil's word) Bird Song, and you could tell they were having a blast rippin' through it.

They fix some tuning problems mid-way through and then just turn on the heat. What a way to open a show!
Bird Song
Sept. 27, 1972
Stanley Theatre

Brilliant soundscapes throughout, with Bobby nice and audible in the mix (soundboard, not the DP). Jerry makes bird sounds and swoops and soars over and above the rolling wind and cloud ocean coming from Phil and Billy. Great great stuff from one of the top eras of this beautiful song.
