Wild and reckless - a supernova.

Born Cross Eyed

Carousel Ballroom

It rocks. A tight first Born Cross Eyed after a pretty rough New Potato Caboose. Love the '68 sound.

Carousel Ballroom

First version, out of the first China Cat ever. Epic show. Pigpen is on fire the whole night.

Turn On Your Love Light
Jan. 17, 1968
Carousel Ballroom

Blazing start to an awe inspiring, historically massive show. It's pure. Pig and Bobby are especially fun during the hocket (vocal back and forth).

Born Cross Eyed
Jan. 20, 1968
Eureka Municipal Auditorium

Massive, sprawling, acid rock bursting at its seams. "Primal Dead" bending space-time.

Bird Song
Dec. 5, 1981
Market Square Arena

Could be much higher. This soars. Comments on the linked show discuss different versions out there that might bring down the tinniness of Brent's keys, so I'm looking forward to discovering this show with its brilliant set list.
Cosmic Charlie
Jan. 17, 1969
Civic Auditorium

Right there with you Cucamonga... Couldn't have said it better myself!
Dark Star

Public Hall

Dude 420, you want some weird? Check out the Playin' from Dec. 2nd '73. My weird fave.... Peace, brother.
Dupree's Diamond Blues
Jan. 24, 1969
Avalon Ballroom

Brilliant raw vocals here, plus a raw, hard-rockin' outro unlike any of the Dupree's I ever got to hear 15 years or so later....
Cosmic Charlie
Jan. 17, 1969
Civic Auditorium

Sounds like half the band didn't make it back from the TIFTOO before this and were left stranded somewhere out past Alpha Centauri.... This is the most scattered Charlie I've ever heard. I kind of love how messed up it is, but it certainly isn't the best one out there.
