Long crystal clear Jerry solos throughout and a great recording for '68. Gets tighter throughout the jam.

Fast, reckless, and smokin' hot. A must have for fans of '68 and all its psychedelic glory. Goes into a nice best New Potato Caboose too.

Succinct and powerful. A nice '68 set starting (!) with Dark Star and Stephen. Mellow.

Great extended spacey jam. Check out around 05:10 - 05:40 for what sounds impossibly like a FTM tease. PHIL !

Jerry's on fire in this show opener. Not my favorite song, but just a rippin' version here. Wish I could have been there....

What the '70 Dead sound is all about: From an hour-long at times frantic and at all time intensely rocking Dark Star>Love Light jam session with special guests to a sweet and lovely acoustic three-part harmony UJB in a matter of minutes. Their well was just so incredibly deep.

Deserves much more love. The whole show has a crackling electricity to it. They're dialed way in and amped way up. Brilliant from start to finish.

I'd vote for this one again and again if allowed to. Like high-tension wires, it crackles and jumps. The mix is high on the treble end and slightly tinny, but this just adds to the adrenalin rush.

Follows a high-voltage and dangerous TOO>Cryptical, once again showing the turn-on-a-dime stylistic breadth of our boys here. From psychedelic super-rush to a sweet country ditty (about paranoia) in one clean sweep.

Everything I look for in a Franklin's. It was always the mark of a great show for me when they broke this out. This one does not disappoint.
