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!).

Me and My Uncle

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
Feb. 20, 1971
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.

Caution

Fillmore West

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

Beautiful harmonies on the vocal here. Nice and tight energy.
Playin' In The Band

Theatre Hall

I think lining up the Playin's from '71 until the hiatus is a good a study as any into how the band kept evolving. E72 is one of my favorite eras from it too, and this one doesn't disappoint. Nosiree: It starts off a bit mellow and then builds a good head of steam. By minute six or so it's got the force of a rocket. Good pick.

Way solid: One of those building and building versions that comes to a huge climax with everyone hitting it at once. Bravo.

Lille Fairgrounds

Keith, Billy, and Phil are in perfect synchronous mindmeld underneath Jer's note-for-note masterwork.
The Other One
May 13, 1972
Lille Fairgrounds

This one left some scars in Lille: At times it's like the mother of all freak-outs by that friend who some friend brought and who had no business eating all that chemistry. Then spontaneously it's the soundtrack to another f'in movie and you're watching your own mind from another one, T h e O t h e r O n e to be precise. There's a hint of Spanish to it for a bit, but man they just went completely off the chain here. The whole show is a pleasure, not a false step anywhere.
