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.

Fans of psychedelicore and hard core scary-ride Dead that shoots you out of a cannon, blows you to pieces, then brings you back in to land maybe just a little shook up by it all will love this one. Should rate much higher here.

Melodic, adventurous, and straight forward. Beautiful spontaneous composition and development of the DS theme, without going into wild interstellar space or melting down. Just lovely.

Needs a lot more love. If there were no other recordings of the Grateful Dead except this MM-DS-SS-11 segment, they'd still be known as the best jamming band of the age.

Thanks Dude420. Them's kind words. This one is really solid. I always felt that "serious" heads had some weird chip on their shoulders about St. Stevie. Why? 'Cause they dropped it or cause Jerry didn't want to play it? Cause we held signs asking for it and never got it? So what! This is what pinned me to the wall at the tender heady age of twelve and got me counting the months before I could catch 'em live. Was that in the Aoxomoxoa era? Hell no, but thanx to the archive, I can get it now. This is killer Dead, hardcore psychedelic nobullschittgetonthebusorgetoffthebuslieonthefloorandtryandholdon dangerdead.
