Bursts out with mega mic'd horsepower. Lifts you out of your chair and pins you to the wall. Derserves many fans.

Blasting, enormous, fully psychadelic early Dead show opener complete with cool TC organ, massive gongs and great vocals.

Outrageous 3rd Set madness with the Allman Bros, inside an amazing NFA.

Extensive and exploring jam suggesting what might have come of this song had it stayed in rotation a bit longer.

A wild ride. Great fun.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Can't see +31's comments, (beta glitch?) but I'm going to agree with Cuse15420: The hot youthful energy is packed so tight that China Cat just bursts at its seams. Then the Rider is full of exhuberence and passion. If you love '69 (and really, heads, really) then this is kick-assed version and all around epic show should really do it for you.
Turn On Your Love Light

Listen to the whole show (in the right order cuz the Archive set order is screwy) and you'll get it. The whole thing is a Love Light Sandwich that climaxes so intensely you'll have to hose yourself down. Ohhhhhh, to have been there....

High velocity and somehow ordering chaos like only the '69 Dead knew how to do. The whole show is just a blazing glory.
