Powerful, sweet vocals and nice harmonies. Totally overlooked great 1st set on this show.

Keith on a what sounds like a Hammond B3 gives a mad funky vibe. Goes into the Main Ten theme and is pretty hardcore. Special early Keith version.

Solid and grooving with a nice pulse. Keith is still brand new, but fits in beautifully.

Dynamite. Kicks off nicely.

Wharf Rat

Felt Forum, Madison Square Garden

A subtle beauty with a sensitive touch that never gives up its strong pulse. An über-cool slide into Deal sneaks in but doesn't get picked up.

The Other One
Oct. 23, 1970
McDonough Arena - Georgetown University

First Truckin'>TOO ever? If so, that's pretty cool. It's the first one I know of.
Good Lovin'
Oct. 23, 1970
McDonough Arena - Georgetown University

Very fine jam, sparks flying, and Pigpen's vox is perfect. I'll be damned but around minute 14 there's a little backup rhythm that sounds like the Good Lovin' redux c. '78 or so.
Deep Elem Blues

Lakeland Civic Center

Cgarces and jagraham84: Check out Sept 30, 1971 for the early prototype, if you dig this song in its electric form. Cheers!
Dark Star
Oct. 17, 1970
Cleveland Music Hall

Anything gdtrfb recommends is a good listen and he's (she's?) not at all wrong here. This is an AUD-lover's Star, with all the perfect, moody, thematics of 1970. Builds and buds into glory. The only reason it's not higher is because it's only recently recovered. Enjoy!
The Wheel
Dec. 5, 1981
Market Square Arena

Dreamishness-o-lisciousness. To 'get it' you should go back and hear the whole Playin'>d/s>wheel sequence. Go past the link here and find the Charlie Miller remix, obviously, for beautiful sound quality and balance.
