Worth it for the stoned giggles after the cannon shot alone. Part of a great '69 show filled with rare gems.

2nd ever, with a long cool intro that sounds a bit like Row Jimmy. This one's a beaut from a show full of great rarities (Slewfoot opener!).

Slow, clear version from a beautiful show placed right between the primal psychedelia and the emerging country Dead. Check it out.

Turn On Your Love Light

Capitol Theater

Buried under some sound quality issues is a 25 minute epic with massive jams and a dollar and quarter Pig rap for the ages.

This will chop you into tiny pieces and put you back together again. Ballsy dark Dead from a cool show.

Crunchy power-vibe to this one. Doesn't quite have the floating, mesmerizing effect of some others, but instead a more hard-rocking feel. Special.

Damn right!

This is perfect in every way. I don't know what bug crawled up someone's ass to turn this into a way to talk smack about Pigpen, but whatevs. Pig adds a beautiful mellow and understated whooshing touch behind the perfect harmonies. There's a reason they played it together, guy.

Hearing this in it's total sequence is so mind-bendingly glorious that I can't imagine why it took me so long to get back to this one. What a goddamned triumph to what was arguably the most consistently brilliant tour of their history.

Dude420 is 100% right. This is their farewell kiss-of-weird to Europe. The band was never the same again, and here's a love letter.
