Check out the totally mad vocals. Someone's belting it out, and it ain't Donna! Out of a killer Dark Star.

A long deep ride: Inter-stellar collectivity with deep-space weirdness after 1st chorus.

Beautiful ensemble playing. Jerry and Donna harmonise nicely.

The boys push behind Bobby like the posse chasing the narrator of the song. You can hear the hoofbeats. Excellent.

Soaring. Jerry and Phil in collective consciousness. My version is marred by a rough AUD patch though.

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.

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....

The China Cat is perfectly executed. Pristine, releasable quality jam here.

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.....
