Not Fade Away
March 21, 1971
Exposition Center

Murky AUD and incomplete show on IA, but a blaze of fun, this one. Has an itty-bitty Mountain Jam at 1:25 for about 12 seconds.

Good Lovin'
March 20, 1971
University of Iowa

Some rough spots coming back in, but a very interesting almost Santana-esque first jam and a great Pig groove. Interesting one.

Caution
March 18, 1971
Fox Theatre

Surprised it isn't here yet. Only one in '71 and it intensely musical and weirdly experimental. Crashes into a short feedback/tuning then a sweet UJB.

The Other One
March 18, 1971
Fox Theatre

Moves between super-charged hard rocker and an open-spaced delicate beauty. Marred by a cut, so how far did it really go? Anyone have the complete?

Wharf Rat

Fox Theatre

Soaring jam flirts with tipping into the outer void. Wild beauty with Pig on B3 gives it something extra.

Estimated Prophet
Feb. 26, 1977
Swing Auditorium

What a brain-sizzler. Jerry's 20-second solo around 3:30 just ignites the air into a pillar of fire. His tone is of ferocious arch-angelic madness, just like the song sez, eh? What an intro for this quirky off-kilter song for a crowd also treated to 1st-time Terrapin.
New Potato Caboose
Jan. 27, 1967
Avalon Ballroom

Between the Human Be-In two weeks earlier and this blisteringly hot announcement to the "scene" the Dead seemed to go from pop psychedelica to the Danger Dead, with a swaggering, no prisoners, no bullshit muscle behind their prankster games. The sound quality here leaves some to be desired, and it fades out into VLB, but it's more than worth a listen. It'll steal your freakin' face, is what it'll do.
Viola Lee Blues
Jan. 27, 1967
Avalon Ballroom

By far the furthest jam and meltdown on any Viola thus far in the recorded history. The tape speed is a bit dubious, but the jam is an absolute must.
Good Morning Little Schoolgirl
Jan. 14, 1967
Polo Field, Golden Gate Park

Unmistakeably Charles Lloyd. Pretty hot flute, but he's no Pigpen on the rap.
Morning Dew
Jan. 14, 1967
Polo Field, Golden Gate Park

Until further notice, this is the first one. I admit it sounds pretty polished and full of gong, but who cares! It's brilliant, Jerry's vocals are sweet, and the jam has all the power of the Dew we know. Love it.
