Bliss. Feb. '70 is full of peak Dead. This doesn't disappoint.

Why not here yet? This show has it all, and this Eleven just slays it. Balls out, high-energy jams from everyone.

Like the night before, this just blazes with crackling electric fire. Great mix and channel separation with Bobby nice and clear helps. Overlooked.

Crisp recording with nicely mixed Bobby on separate channel = rare treat in this tight Stephen. Great show.

Uncle John's Band
Nov. 16, 1970
Fillmore East
Seems like the date of the show is in question, with strong arguments for the 16th ("unannounced show") or the 23rd ("Hells Angels Benefit"), with "memories" backing up either story. Either way, it's a magic little show with great accompaniments by guest stars. This UJB is gorgeous.

Some debate as to this date. Just listened to it all as 16 November 1970. In any case, the whole thing is just amazing. I love how clear Bobby is in the mix throughout, which is so rare for the era.

Right on Robjacobi waikikirob. As I said on the Dark Star comments from this show, this is the music I want playing (on a loop) over my tombstone. Also, nice form on your picture there. Ride one for all those surfers out there who no longer live next to the ocean....

Winterland Arena
Charges right out of the gate. Even if this isn't your favorite song, they leave no doubt about their blazing energy. Jerry/Keith communication across the soloing is just brilliant.

Ripping opener. It's been so long since I dropped in on this show, but it's like a cool glass of water on a hot day: Just exactly perfect. Jerry's outro solo announced to these lucky fans just what kind of night they were in for.
