Wild and scrambled with lots of hooting and yelping. Lots of scary fun on this rare gem folks, with a Spanishy jam at the end.

Killer power bridging Dark Star into an atomic The Eleven. Not kidding, but all the early ones belong up here to spread more heads into '68 Dead.

Fillmore East

High-energy and very tight. Opens (?) an immortal show with a big bang. Great clear sound quality, too.

Super-charged, but unfortunately incomplete. From the era when TOO took over from Cryptical, but this reprise has surprising power: PHIL.

Explosive and uptempo with a high-pressure energy that blows the tubes.

Acoustic bliss and the coolest vocal outro out there.
Candyman

Legion Stadium

This whole show is filled with killer '70 gems. And Bobby, Jerry and Pig seem like they were all trying to out sing the other. Rare the show with such consistent vocal excellence. And this Candyman just blows me away again and again.

I dig. Damn. Hot stuff.

Sweet and short with Bobby sounding great.
Dark Star

Hill Auditorium

Goes pretty far out, but never loses the intense melodicism and rhythmic driving that characterises this great show. A beauty.
