Bliss. Feb. '70 is full of peak Dead. This doesn't disappoint.

Why not here yet? This show has it all, and this Eleven just slays it. Balls out, high-energy jams from everyone.

Like the night before, this just blazes with crackling electric fire. Great mix and channel separation with Bobby nice and clear helps. Overlooked.

Crisp recording with nicely mixed Bobby on separate channel = rare treat in this tight Stephen. Great show.

Tight is right. This one almost sounds through-composed, but doesn't lose the soaring spontaneity either. Beautiful version.

One of the better ones, this. Seriously underrated. There's good SBD, so avoid the rough AUD.

A long strange trip. This one took the lucky audience far furthur out and back again. Love the description above of this as a "buffet".

Playin' In The Band

Boston Music Hall

Delicate and sparkling. Has the melodic theme bubbling up to the surface here and there, which is really different from the other Playin's in Summer/Fall '72. For the AUD-hesitant: The show up to this point is pretty rough, but there's a good SB version on the archive of Playin' through NFA.
