Beautiful harmonies and country soul. Brilliant and historically important show.

First performance ever and it's slower, but beautiful and raw. Bobby sings like a country warbler typical of the '71s. Historically interesting.

Greatest Story Ever Told

Capitol Theater

Primordial version, first time played, introduced as "Mickey wants to call this one 'The Pump Man' for reasons of his own." Raw and unlike any other.

First Loser ever and the last Mickey show before his break. Brilliant version, hot energetic vocals and that good '71 sound.

Dripping with deep-soul. Pigpen's voice at its best. Sounds like honey.

By ambivalence I mean Jerry's well known hesitation to bust out and rearrange Stephen again post-Godchauxs. As iconic as it is, Stephen was notable for its absence as much as for its presence in my experience as a head throughout my time on the bus.

One of the beastliest, most rockingest versions from this special transitional era between the psychedelic primal dead INTO the country, before the jamathon Dead we love from 72-74. 70-71 are special times and this doesn't disappoint.

Soldier '15 in full spirit, but not in flesh. Wish I could be there guys, oh how I do. Enjoy it, tape it, share it, love it, live it...

Modern Head, I've been going chronologically through 1970 lately, and discovering some amazing stuff, and also rediscovering the sometimes pleasures of certain AUDs over cleaner SNB. Typically I take one calendar year to listen to in order, while dipping in and out of other shows as the mood strikes, and depending on the credibility of whomever recommends it... O_o indeed. '70 is quite special all told tho. You'll always know where to find me!
