First DS>Stephen>Eleven merits mention here, plus it's freaking groovy '68 Dead: No meltdown here (not yet), just 13 min. of 1st edition Dark Star.

Check out "Primal Alligator Jam" on Feb. 07, 1969 and tell me this isn't a Mountain Jam. Anyone? In any case, I'm blown away by it.

Under the radar show, but blazing, blistering, and hard rocking Love Light. The whole set is outrageous.

Perfect execution, Jerry just note for note brilliant, Bobby sings like a man possessed. AUD quality A/A-

Franklin's Tower

Bob Weir's Studio

You ain't never heard anything like this. It's about half-speed, super mellow, almost Jamaican vibe. For a rehearsal, this sounds just oh so sweet.

Not only is this version hot, but it's the bust-out too, setting up for all the great Bobby-Donna ones.

Agreed with Ernie5 here, this is a cool little one-off jam, which doesn't seem lost at all. Almost sounds like they were going into something else, but then got into one of the year's best Dancin's.

Dude 420, you are hearing that correctly. It appears the night before too. Check out this cool site on some of the recognisable jams: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2010/01/deads-early-thematic-jams.html

This and the stand alone on two days earlier are just bonkers-good. I love how this one comes way down for tree-skimmingly low-altitude high speed chase.

Riverfront Arena

Weak outro though. This show has some soft spots.
