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

Shrine Auditorium
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.

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

Me and Bobby McGee

Capitol Theater
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.

Uncle John's Band
Aug. 24, 1972
Berkeley Community Theatre
The energy and drive on this is unparalleled. The outro(s) are just phenomenal, and all after hours of high-velocity, outer-spheres-crazy creative jamming: The finest band in the land indeed.
Ramble On Rose
Aug. 24, 1972
Berkeley Community Theatre
Convincing, up-tempo pulse to it. Never lags, as some RoRs do.
Sugar Magnolia

Berkeley Community Theatre
Has the rhythm and thrust of an 18-wheeler cruising 85 m.p.h. If this doesn't get you out of your chair to dance, then nothing will.
Morning Dew
Aug. 24, 1972
Berkeley Community Theatre
This DS>Dew is as sublime an arc as I know in the whole oeuvre. The whole range of whisper to cataclysm is on display. Jerry's voice is also in great shape, and the whole thing seems unworldly.

You got that right, Glyn. This whole show could have gone straight to vinyl. The highlights from this Berkeley run are top '72 (says a hell of a lot), and just Peak Dead all around.
