Ignore nay-sayers who think this show is only about the (jaw dropping) PITB and decide yourself, this version is pretty, pure and full of '72 love.

Hits that sweet spot between a shuffle and a ballad. Slight tinniness to Jer's Mike on my copy gives a nice swirling trippiness to it.

Playin' In The Band

Memorial Coliseum

Tiptoes on silk spiderwebs across a silent field of pure cosmos. Won't blow you into pieces, but will free your head from this mere terrestial plane.

Estimated Prophet

Memorial Coliseum

Pure mind-expanding insanity, slightly sinister and tight in its off-kilter odd-metered way. Cool organ sounds from Keith. Well-rounded May, '77 show.

From the show that just keeps on giving. And endless jam. All the clichés about being "dialed way in" or "just exactly perfect" don't even begin to give this epic jam justice. Outta sight, outta my mind.

Life isn't complete until you've heard this. Remember this? "When I die bury me deep, with a turntable by my feet, lay some speakers up near my head, so I can l listen to the Grateful Dead". This is the one I want spinnin' for me, alright guys?

Went to some shows, and fell into more than one Black Peter trance, but never saw it acoustic like this. I wore this record out, and damn, but this is a perfect execution. Jerry sounds so sweet. Thanks, boys.

Like you some '70 acoustic Dead? Not sure why this didn't make the cut for Bear's Choice or DP4, but goddamned if it isn't a treasure.

Damn near wore out this LP back in the daze. I can't really say anything against this being up at the top... it is absolutely perfect. But I just discovered the Feb. 8 '70 version, which just kills me too, and may be a bit more savage, a bit more 'don't know if I'm gonna kill yeh or not, do yah'. Dig 'em both.
