Wild and reckless - a supernova.

Carousel Ballroom

It rocks. A tight first Born Cross Eyed after a pretty rough New Potato Caboose. Love the '68 sound.

Carousel Ballroom

First version, out of the first China Cat ever. Epic show. Pigpen is on fire the whole night.

Turn On Your Love Light
Jan. 17, 1968
Carousel Ballroom

Blazing start to an awe inspiring, historically massive show. It's pure. Pig and Bobby are especially fun during the hocket (vocal back and forth).

Born Cross Eyed
Jan. 20, 1968
Eureka Municipal Auditorium

Massive, sprawling, acid rock bursting at its seams. "Primal Dead" bending space-time.

The Other One
Nov. 17, 1972
Century II Convention Hall

Not your old granny's The Other One - unless of course your old granny was that hot lady with the clean sunshine hanging out with the tapers.... Seriously though this is hot psychedelia that goes through all the phases, but doesn't have the hard metal edge of some from the era. Far far out, but never pushes you over the edge. A great show of their control and chaos, followed by a sublime Brokedown.

Century II Convention Hall

They're breathing as one, and this has some gorgeous, subtle interplay. Just perfect.
Truckin'
Nov. 17, 1972
Century II Convention Hall

A few moments about a minute before they change time signatures into 6/8 for the TOO shift and it sounds almost like a Nobody's Fault But Mine jam - not quite, but just enough of Phil/Jerry interplay to suggest it was in the air.
Cumberland Blues
Nov. 17, 1972
Century II Convention Hall

No question, this one has a little extra chili pepper in it.

Simply on fire. Brilliant.
