Great harp work from Pigpen, who's voice was still strong and full of blues: Great crunchy jamming from the band.

With the power to blast you out of your chair. Watch your dose, it's that strong.

Any question's about primal Dead? Answer's right here in the outro of this psychedelic monster. A really hard core brainmelter, this.

Has it all. Builds and builds up to a great peak with Jer and Keith playing all out behind a great Bobby performance.

Maybe I'm the only Head out there who digs this song, but damn if this isn't a beauty. Tight harmonies and a good-times feeling.

The Other One

Brilliant version. There's a unique space around minute 13:00 where Jerry is almost alone in the darkness, tweaking and reaching out, followed by whooshing zooms that can give you flashbacks forty-five-odd (very odd) years later, not to mention the under-water sea adventure that it leads into before a great meltdown for the ages. This is the goods, heads.

Could be the mix or the levels, but I am digging Phil's precise, technically flawless playing here. His subtlety and finesse are too easily overlooked. Reminds me of why I always aimed for the Phil zone whenever I could.

Classically under-rated song. Listen to Jerry's continuous percolating cantina gingerbread like a pot of boiling beans, while Phil gives a perfect master-class. Great version.
Greatest Story Ever Told

One of those moments where the band just explodes with the pure joy of playing wonderful music together. Jerry just launches Stephen like a trebuchet.

Jbrucer: Hope you found the archive more to your liking. I know I did. "Ripping" is the right word for this UJB. Sounds like they didn't want to stop playing and just got warm.
