Wild and reckless - a supernova.

Carousel Ballroom

It rocks. A tight first Born Cross Eyed after a pretty rough New Potato Caboose. Love the '68 sound.

Carousel Ballroom

First version, out of the first China Cat ever. Epic show. Pigpen is on fire the whole night.

Turn On Your Love Light
Jan. 17, 1968
Carousel Ballroom

Blazing start to an awe inspiring, historically massive show. It's pure. Pig and Bobby are especially fun during the hocket (vocal back and forth).

Born Cross Eyed

Eureka Municipal Auditorium

Massive, sprawling, acid rock bursting at its seams. "Primal Dead" bending space-time.

Dancin' in the Streets
July 12, 1970
Fillmore East

Rises and rises into new shapes during the last minutes, but there's an unfortunate cut....
Cocaine Habit Blues

Fillmore East

Almost makes cocaine seem olde-timey and innocent.
Bird Song
Feb. 23, 1971
Capitol Theater

Just exactly perfect. Sweet vocals, beautiful harmonies, nice mix - thank's tapers! Jerry's solo about 3 minutes in is quite different from others, exploring block chord voicings and an angular twanging clanging thang that sounds almost... Bobbyish(?!?), but it's Jer, and it fits perfectly.

Jer's guitar tone is sublime. He's burnin' down the world here.
Black Throated Wind
Nov. 24, 1972
Dallas Memorial Auditorium

Good catch. Jerry's fills around Bobby's lyrical phrasing and the exquisite tone he was getting out of his axe make this one really special. The two are totally synched up and this one could be way higher on the list. The way they build up towards the climax is brilliant.
