Worth it for the stoned giggles after the cannon shot alone. Part of a great '69 show filled with rare gems.

2nd ever, with a long cool intro that sounds a bit like Row Jimmy. This one's a beaut from a show full of great rarities (Slewfoot opener!).

Slow, clear version from a beautiful show placed right between the primal psychedelia and the emerging country Dead. Check it out.

Turn On Your Love Light
Feb. 20, 1971
Capitol Theater

Buried under some sound quality issues is a 25 minute epic with massive jams and a dollar and quarter Pig rap for the ages.

Fillmore West

This will chop you into tiny pieces and put you back together again. Ballsy dark Dead from a cool show.

Hey modernhead 1995, you got a link for Jerry playing Oregon State Prison or some way to check this out, because fuckin' a, brother, but I'd listen to that.... Sure this is a GD site and all, but acoustic Jerry in a lockup sounds like some sounds I'd like to hear. Post a link and help a brother out.... Peace from the Carrion Crow.

Fillmore East

This show is so full of gems and ultimates (arguably the finest FoTD ever recorded), that this beauty can easily get overlooked. Sweet sweet harmonies in the electric set. Ahhhhhhhh, 1970, what a bonus year....
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

The China Cat is perfectly executed. Pristine, releasable quality jam here.

May just be the best version ever performed.

My oh my, but that's some sweet and good old GD right there. There really is something extra special about the 1970 sound, the deeply intimate mellow places they could evoke so sweetly with an acoustic set, then mixed up with the as dark-and-heavy as can be ferocity of the electric. Go from Ripple or Rosalie here straight into the Caution/Feedback mind-melter: There was definitely some strong mojo driving the band back then.....
