Bursts out with mega mic'd horsepower. Lifts you out of your chair and pins you to the wall. Derserves many fans.

Blasting, enormous, fully psychadelic early Dead show opener complete with cool TC organ, massive gongs and great vocals.

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
Aug. 24, 1972
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

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.
Brown Eyed Women

Berkeley Community Theatre

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.
