Worth it for the stoned giggles after the cannon shot alone. Part of a great '69 show filled with rare gems.

2nd ever, with a long cool intro that sounds a bit like Row Jimmy. This one's a beaut from a show full of great rarities (Slewfoot opener!).

Slow, clear version from a beautiful show placed right between the primal psychedelia and the emerging country Dead. Check it out.

Turn On Your Love Light

Buried under some sound quality issues is a 25 minute epic with massive jams and a dollar and quarter Pig rap for the ages.

This will chop you into tiny pieces and put you back together again. Ballsy dark Dead from a cool show.

Remarkable for its low key simmering rap from Pigpen that leads almost accidentally into the second half of a Love Light. Spontaneous and kind of a "how the hell did that happen" moment. Love to Ken and Judy, for sure. Thank you.

They rushed through the St. Stephen to get into this heady jam with its raucous smoldering quality.

I agree with Glynparson about FOTD, I always preferred this song as an uptempo acoustic rather than as a slow electric. It brings out the desperado nature somewhat, one might say.

Katie Mae is always special, but this one has something extra, and the AUD gives us the whole story. East coast crowd or not, this crowd sounds like a room full of outlaw bikers, ready to stomp the stage between every song. Then Pigpen steps up, you can hear the hush come over as he pulls everyone into an almost reverential silence. What a gem. Thanks, tapers, you done real good on this one. What power....

Feels like it could have gone on for an hour without getting boring. Real pity to lose out the final parts. Exceptional jamming indeed. Good catch.
