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.

Cryptical Envelopment

Fantastic outro from a jamming TOO, right around when they switched from focusing on Cryptical to TOO. This one is a simmering soundscape. AUD phobes should not pass up this one, the whole show is emblematic of the era, and a great representation of what the boys could do in 1970.

But this one isn't relaxed at all. This is hard-rockin' Outlaw Dead. Ballsy vocals and a 1500 cc chopper of a jam. Plus you get to hear Pigpen curse at Bear afterward. Hard driving. Not chill.

I'm referring here to the Bunjes and Tuete link and haven't had time to go through each version on the Archive. To note as well that the first 20 seconds are an AUD patch, so presumably there's a complete version in B/B- quality out there too. In any case enjoys it brothers and sisters, it's a rare beauty.
