Long crystal clear Jerry solos throughout and a great recording for '68. Gets tighter throughout the jam.

Fast, reckless, and smokin' hot. A must have for fans of '68 and all its psychedelic glory. Goes into a nice best New Potato Caboose too.

Succinct and powerful. A nice '68 set starting (!) with Dark Star and Stephen. Mellow.

Great extended spacey jam. Check out around 05:10 - 05:40 for what sounds impossibly like a FTM tease. PHIL !

Jerry's on fire in this show opener. Not my favorite song, but just a rippin' version here. Wish I could have been there....

The Eleven

Who'd of thunk it? The Eleven can be laid back and chill. Almost a contradiction in terms, but nevertheless here it is. Really special.

Utterly underrated. A minor masterpiece and one of the last Live Dead suites, although the Star alone is a wonder of inter- and inner-stellar spacetime travel. Take the ride, heads.

This, and the next night's are just note-for-note perfect. A beautiful snapshot of perfect '70 Dead.

Hidden gem in a hidden gem of a show. I love how they merge a hard biting, crunchy rock sound over the goofy lyrics. Is it my imagination but is Cosmic Charlie poking a bit of fun at Johnny-come-latelys to the hippie scene?

1970 vocals are top notch for so many reasons. I think this one might showcase Jerry's vox at its young man's best. Beautiful soloing too.
