War Memorial
The most shit-kickinest version I know. Real swagger and Phil bombs early in the set.

Rochester Community War Memorial
Strong version from a forgotten show. Whole second set on this show is SB, not AUD. Worth multiple listenings, great jazzy jam.

Rochester Community War Memorial
An intense, tight, and blisteringly hot version in a forgotten show. DO NOT IGNORE! Archive is SB, not AUD w/ decent sound. Listen to it!

Listen through the murk of the AUD recording and you find a beautiful exploratory version. Headphones only.

Civic Center
Intense energy and deep exploration coming after (!) a massive Dark Star and a shredding Eyes to close out one hell of a concert.

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.
