A little triumph here. Acoustic intimacy from a brilliant great of a show.

Like all your best friends sitting around the campfire, strumming and pickin' by starlight. Have a sip or a toke and enjoy....

Really lovely here, part of one of the warmest, most intimate acoustic sets of 1970.

Euphoria Ballroom

Jerry and Bob bite down hard and tear into this one with muscle. Their interplay lightens up and whoops! We find ourselves in Stephen.

Anthemic beauty. Great ensemble singing and powerful pacing to it. Then Janis steps on stage for Love Light, so there's that.

Peak Dead all week long, but this show (and the incomplete 25th) are just note for note perfect all round. This one is a stunner.

Not really a complete song, more like a short jam section of the NFA>GDTRFB>NFA, (same chords, same hambone, same clavé....) but very cool all the same. Very cool indeed.
Truckin'
April 18, 1971
Lusk Field House - State University Of New York

Some wobbly vocals, which may be a tape speed problem (?), but a crunching, blistering solo from Jerry and a "fun-was-had-by-all" feelgood party feeling to it, warts and all.

The Spectrum

Cucamonga's right. This is special. The whole set is one continuous jam, which after a pretty spaced-out Playin' and a looooooooooong d/s leads into this fun run through a different approach to Truckin'.
The Other One
Aug. 22, 1972
Berkeley Community Theatre

Constantly inventive, at times chaotic, at other times spontaneously melodic: a beautiful long ride with many twists and turns. Beautiful one-of-a-kind (correct me if I'm wrong guys and gals!) jam starts in around 11:20, and another one at 25:20. What a show!
