Fast and fun, the crowd really digging it. Great show in spite of some sound quality issues.

Rehearsal, no vocals, brilliant explorations of the song in development. Great insight into the boys' collective mind.

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.
