Some of the sweetest group vocal harmonies ever. How is this show not more highly rated?

Way up-tempo and crisp and groovy. This was Keith's first run of shows and their's popping creative energy throughout.

Bobby's voice sounds beautiful, one of his clearest, nicest vocal performances of this one.

Right about here a damn good show becomes an outrageously amazing show.

Exploratory and energetic, coming in the heart of an hour-long jam. Great musicality and clear communication between the boys here.

Bird Song

Played a full step lower than in later years.

Jerry soloing behind Pig's lead here (and elsewhere) is too hot. Get's the sap running.

This is a perfect version: Energetic, but not cokey, clear vocals, and soaring, driven, take-control solos. I'll take this ride anytime.
Turn On Your Love Light
Aug. 6, 1971
Hollywood Palladium

Great vintage dead. Everyone was on for the show and Pig was blazing from beginning to end. Think I'll (a year later) add that around 18:00 they get into some very cool melodic inventions. Nice nice nice.
El Paso
Aug. 6, 1971
Hollywood Palladium

Would love to hear it, but the versions of this date on the Archive with El Paso seem to be DPs, not-for-streaming. Any ideas why the different songlists for this great date?
