Like all your best friends sitting around the campfire, strumming and pickin' by starlight. Have a sip or a toke and enjoy....

Really lovely here, part of one of the warmest, most intimate acoustic sets of 1970.

Jerry and Bob bite down hard and tear into this one with muscle. Their interplay lightens up and whoops! We find ourselves in Stephen.

Anthemic beauty. Great ensemble singing and powerful pacing to it. Then Janis steps on stage for Love Light, so there's that.

Seems like it covers 25 minutes of jam in about 11 minutes. It's dense, tightly packed, purposeful, and heavy. Get ready to be shot out of the psychedelic cannon with this one.

Almost put this under the IKYR page w/o the CC, even though it would have been historically misleading. Pity about the cut.

Loooooove the deadessays BlogSpot stuff. That's what I was thinking about. There were also great qualitative lists at greatfuldeadprojects.com, (the "top 100 shows off the beaten path" was a killer introduction to any era). It seems to have been taken down. Anyone have info on what happened to it?

Got links? i remember seeing some similar deep analysis (PhD-level musicology or something) about Dark Stars. I love that kind of thing.

Hey Catalonia, what are your metrics? Spreadsheet is a great idea, but what are your y-axis columns? Shreddiness? Steal-your-faceosity? I dig the idea.
