Boston Garden

Sea Stones: Space noise electronica with Phil & Ned. Not for everyone, but sends me into well into the interstellar place.

May-June '74 might be my top time for Sugaree. This just builds up to so much intensity. Great stuff.

Candyman
Aug. 5, 1970
Golden Hall - San Diego Community Concourse

Intimacy levels: Campfire. Acoustic mellow to the point where I feel like just went camping with my favorite band. A treasure.

The Other One

Crystal Ballroom

Clutch yer nuts and hold on for dear life. Heavy headiness where the squiggly hippies and the madman bikers get massively Dead nailed.

Lindley Meadows, Golden Gate Park

Explosive jam like they had 11 months of unplayed Truckin's compressed into one.

Market Square Arena

Could be much higher. This soars. Comments on the linked show discuss different versions out there that might bring down the tinniness of Brent's keys, so I'm looking forward to discovering this show with its brilliant set list.

Right there with you Cucamonga... Couldn't have said it better myself!

Dude 420, you want some weird? Check out the Playin' from Dec. 2nd '73. My weird fave.... Peace, brother.
Dupree's Diamond Blues
Jan. 24, 1969
Avalon Ballroom

Brilliant raw vocals here, plus a raw, hard-rockin' outro unlike any of the Dupree's I ever got to hear 15 years or so later....
Cosmic Charlie

Civic Auditorium

Sounds like half the band didn't make it back from the TIFTOO before this and were left stranded somewhere out past Alpha Centauri.... This is the most scattered Charlie I've ever heard. I kind of love how messed up it is, but it certainly isn't the best one out there.
