A Dew>Playin'>UJB>Playin' jam of outrageous power, starting one of the great months in the band's history. Pity the show's not complete, though.

Video w/ TC. See it to believe it. And believe me, Carrion Crow, it's an absolute beauty. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVqArOogY-c

Get lined up, put on your helmet, then prepare to be shot out of a cannon for about 30 minutes. This is what early Dead is all about.

This one's a must for fans of this song: I know I'd trade some of my tomorrows for one more yesterday with Bobby & Co. Sweet and meloncholy....

So beautiful I had to stop it mid way through and start it again. Impassioned, clear sounding, great vocals and harmonies. (Phil!) Perfect.

Turn On Your Love Light
Jan. 2, 1970
Fillmore East (Late Show)

Jack-a-Straw is right: this deserves much more recognition. That they had enough energy after the monumental DS>SS>11 to even attempt a Love Light is of course staggering. That they were able to blast through the firmament with a Love Light of this intensity is immortal. Give her a listen and vote her up, boys.
Dark Star
Jan. 2, 1970
Fillmore East (Late Show)

No doubt about it, 1970 kicks off with a massive massive heady Star, folks. This, as mentioned above, is well under-rated. It's got deep creepy far out lose-yer-mind predatory space craters followed by back-to-your body feather-light elegant whispers, and then there's that brilliant Tighten Up jam. Could go much higher on the list.

Everything you look for in an early UJB, right here.

Something succinct about these comments, demonstrating just what a high standard they were playing at this pivotal new year's juncture. In short: this one rocks hard. Great transition from the Cryptical reprise into a sweet Cosmic Charlie too.

Thanks Modernhead 1995, looking forward to it. Cheers.
