Fillmore Auditorium

One of the first, and its strong and tight and powerful. Is there a bad show from Dec. '69?

Turn On Your Love Light
July 12, 1969
NY State Pavilion, Flushing Meadow Park

Goes way off the rails with Bobby, Pig, audience members and Phil all acting quite mad. Reminds me of some of the Acid Test recordings. A rarity.

The Eleven

NY State Pavilion, Flushing Meadow Park

Expanding over 14 minutes, this one covers different themes and vibes with great streches for soloing. Low-fi AUD.

Some AUD probs but a glowing, surging perfect slice of '69 Dead. Begins acoustically. A rare treat from under the radar.

Mountains of the Moon

NY State Pavilion, Flushing Meadow Park

Buried in bad AUD murk and hiss, this was the last one ever performed. It's longer, slower and beautiful. A gem for completist collectors only.

Hey modernhead 1995, you got a link for Jerry playing Oregon State Prison or some way to check this out, because fuckin' a, brother, but I'd listen to that.... Sure this is a GD site and all, but acoustic Jerry in a lockup sounds like some sounds I'd like to hear. Post a link and help a brother out.... Peace from the Carrion Crow.
Attics of My Life
Sept. 20, 1970
Fillmore East

This show is so full of gems and ultimates (arguably the finest FoTD ever recorded), that this beauty can easily get overlooked. Sweet sweet harmonies in the electric set. Ahhhhhhhh, 1970, what a bonus year....
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Sept. 20, 1970
Fillmore East

The China Cat is perfectly executed. Pristine, releasable quality jam here.
Friend of the Devil
Sept. 20, 1970
Fillmore East

May just be the best version ever performed.

My oh my, but that's some sweet and good old GD right there. There really is something extra special about the 1970 sound, the deeply intimate mellow places they could evoke so sweetly with an acoustic set, then mixed up with the as dark-and-heavy as can be ferocity of the electric. Go from Ripple or Rosalie here straight into the Caution/Feedback mind-melter: There was definitely some strong mojo driving the band back then.....
