Worth it for the stoned giggles after the cannon shot alone. Part of a great '69 show filled with rare gems.

2nd ever, with a long cool intro that sounds a bit like Row Jimmy. This one's a beaut from a show full of great rarities (Slewfoot opener!).

Slow, clear version from a beautiful show placed right between the primal psychedelia and the emerging country Dead. Check it out.

Turn On Your Love Light

Capitol Theater
Buried under some sound quality issues is a 25 minute epic with massive jams and a dollar and quarter Pig rap for the ages.

This will chop you into tiny pieces and put you back together again. Ballsy dark Dead from a cool show.

A cappella finish after someone apparently kicked out their instrument amps right at the end. Good old Grateful Dead just said "F. it, let's keep singing". Love it.

Real blues. Pigpen was on this night and the show belongs to him.

Thanks MerryJerry Wacked: You're right. This is an exploratory, muscular and gorgeous version. Seems they were putting a lot of energy in this song all tour. Brother Bertrando left us a great AUD not to be missed.
Playin' In The Band

Hollywood Bowl
An absolutely smoking, brilliant Playin'. A wild ride full of the wheels within wheels of groupmind. Sounds like they could have been headed into a MLB jam before they arrived at Wharf Rat. And the reprise kicks serious ass.

May - June '74 Wharf Rats just slay me. This one is so beautiful. My god, is it beautiful.
