Rehearsal, no vocals, brilliant explorations of the song in development. Great insight into the boys' collective mind.

Good Lovin'
April 10, 1971
East Hall, Franklin & Marshall College

Excellent and expansive jam that sounds like it was recorded inside Phil's monitors. Great study of the Zone. Much fun.
Dark Star
April 8, 1971
Boston Music Hall

A funny show in some ways: The Dark Star almost seems like a warm-up for the magical jams later in the set. The NFA>GDTRFB>NFA is excellent and the Good Lovin' is off the charts. This Star is a beautiful short exploration, though. And I agree with SlowlyToo that there's a bit of a 'throwback' vibe with this show--Stephen two nights in a row for the Boston Heads. Edit here: Just listened again, and this Star definitely shines on its own. Short and sweet, but covers a lot of spacetime. Good one to return to for deeper listens.
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
April 12, 1978
Cameron Indoor Stadium

Jerry does everything but eat his guitar on stage. Video is a must see.
Ship of Fools
June 23, 1974
Jai-Alai Fronton

Beautiful wandering jam into it explores all of the melodic and harmonic structures of Ship of Fools before the song even starts. The deconstruction works, and the song is one of the strongest versions ever for it. May-June '74 is peak Dead, that's for damned sure.
Good Lovin'
Nov. 6, 1970
Capitol Theater

Gdtrfb's taste in this music is always excellent, so dig his picks, cause you wont ever regret it. Every Main Ten out there merits a big big up, but the bread here - not just the meat - is amazing.
