Jerry's vocals are rarely stronger. At one point he's growling it out like he's spittin' nails.

Kicking off a killer 2nd set, with a beautiful outro and a smooth smooth jam.

In spite of some tuning problems, this one cooks. This whole set showcases Jerry's fast frets. Great stuff.

Sweet master class on background soloing with Jerry's lickety-split runaway desperado fretwork backing Bobby up.

This starts with understated, almost hesitant steps, then builds into a towering emotional rage. Its arc fits its words. Great stuff.

Cryptical Envelopment

Fillmore West

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.

Sorry for the double post.

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.
