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.

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.

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

Pretty wickedly funky dark jams here too.

Bobby cracks up on the last chorus with lots of subdued giggling. Great version.

An "unnameable jam" of pure creativity. Sounds in places like some of the Blues for Allah work three years later, in places like the great shows with the Allman Bros. and in others like they just dialed into and channeled waves from space. Music plays the band here.

Believe it. Everyone is fully on. The sound is perfectly mixed, the jam is souped up and full of muscle. This one goes on my top shelf. And if little itty bits of electrical noise are scaring people off this awesome show, then I'll just have to shake my head and head to the old heads' home. Come on and get up on it folks. Buy the ticket... take the ride.
