Totally overlooked. One of the prettiest mid-sections I know of, even if there isn't much of a jam section to it.

Imagine how blown away the freaks were, expecting 'Alligator' and getting this stunning intro into the country Dead.

Really boys? Take the red pill and go back in time to this rowdy show. 2nd ever and Jer nails it after telling the crowd to "shut the fuck up".

Plugged in and slashingly ("thwok! thwok! thwok! thwok")! energetic opener for a rowdy crowd.

Deep sounds from a pivotal moment in Dead History. A treat for AUD lovers.

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.
