One of the lasts, and they're undoubtedly still jamming the shit out of it. Listen to them come out of drums and the head sez "pray it's not NFA" !!!

Pressure cooker here, just bursting with energy. Pig sounds great, Jerry goes full throttle. AUD quality B only, but worth every second.

Souped up high voltage versions here. The CC has that rippin' '69 energy and the vocals throughout nail it.

The Main Ten. Primordial Playin' groove. This is the deep Dead here. Powerful.

Continuing on 48 minutes of the immortal "kitchen sink" jam, this one holds its own to any other of the era.

I disregarded this show for too many years, and I'm not sure why now, 'cause its got the goods on every number. This Dew owns its votes. Listen and love.

It sounds like Keith has twenty fingers. Killer piano work on this uptempo jumper.

Everything about this set just kicks ass. FreedomHaul said it well.

Hadn't listened to this show on the box set yet, and sweet jeezus this PiTB got a big upgrade. Beg, borrow, or rip the box version and be amazed. Any show that kicks of with this kind of monster is going to be very good indeed. The good just gets better.

The SSDD is over-the top. Total balls-to-the-wall jam.
