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.

Turn On Your Love Light

Stanley Theater

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

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.

Spanish Jam in the outro is so beautiful. What a treat the heads got in Boston.
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
June 22, 1976
Tower Theatre

Great up-and-jumping opener and you can tell from the first moments that they were much tighter than the previous night. Both are great and classic shows, but they're just musically more in sync to this head's ears.
The Music Never Stopped

Tower Theatre

Beautiful interlude section before the last out jam. Jerry's cruising at high speed behind the swimming ooohs and ahhs in great beauty.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
June 21, 1976
Tower Theater

The Help is not as strong or tight as others, and kind of hollows out at one point, but the Slipknot more than makes up for it by getting good and weird. Keith on the Rhodes gives it that great '74 wicked voodoo sound and plays up great phasing effects with Bobby around minute six. The band is waaaaaay loose, but it all sort of comes together. There's something like mic. static or a blown monitor at one point, but even this contributes to the journey.

Has that verge-of-chaos feeling where the jam takes off in 100 different directions while the pulse moves you closer and closer to a full-on dance trance. Nice catch.
