Short Cat, but very interesting transition, with Bobby driving in all his angular beauty, followed by a tight jamming Rider.

Want to here the '70 sound, the closeness, the transition from psychedlicore to country to arena rock? Here it is in all its chaotic beauty.

Like everything from this epic heady show, the boys are just exactly perfect. The vocals are so on. Jerry sounds great.

With the exception of the unfortunate tape flip, this is a pristine acoustic version. Jerry has the vox of an angel here.

Pure and perfect. Fans of '70 will already love it. Those discovering the acoustic Dead, here it is. Wow.

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.
