Purrs along like a smooth stretch of highway. The whole first set has understated beauty. A gem.

Capitol Theater

Pigpen's voice is deep, SC-soaked and clear. The jam is ballsy and pushing out against the seams.

Blasting '68 psyhedelia - A bit wilder than the legendary night before's version. Goes into one of the all-time great 11s after, too.

Great early version, Donna and Jer are on. Sorry my version sounds like they played in a tin can, though.

Memorial Coliseum

Builds and builds from subtle spaceyness to a burning jam. Whole show seems overlooked but well worth it.

I hear every word your saying brother. Sorry for your loss. Strength to you that you can still dig the song. Coke has brought a lot of pain to my circles too, but I've been able to stay away from it while still not making it into a demon. Hella great show this May 14, 1970, isn't it?

Having suffered a bout or two of the old Deep Elem Blues, I can say without hyperbole that this is exactly what they feel like. Top notch version here. Just exactly perfect.
