Wild and reckless - a supernova.

It rocks. A tight first Born Cross Eyed after a pretty rough New Potato Caboose. Love the '68 sound.

First version, out of the first China Cat ever. Epic show. Pigpen is on fire the whole night.

Turn On Your Love Light

Carousel Ballroom

Blazing start to an awe inspiring, historically massive show. It's pure. Pig and Bobby are especially fun during the hocket (vocal back and forth).

Eureka Municipal Auditorium

Massive, sprawling, acid rock bursting at its seams. "Primal Dead" bending space-time.

Deserves more love. Let It Grow just blasts off and leaves your jaw dropped. Hot hot stuff.

48 minute jam starts with Phil and Ned at their tweekiest. You've been warned, if that isn't your bag. (Not me, though, I dig that electric weirdness - you couldn't squeeze my pupils down to normal size even if you tried....)
Playin' In The Band

Drops you through the wormhole right quick, this one. Not a beginner's 'Playin' by any stretch. (Don't try to convince a Dead skeptic with this big beast, oh no.) Goes in and through and out of many dark places, but the whole show is full of very outré jams and this really sets the tone for a big big show.

There's a whole lotta music in here. Listened to it over and over, still finding new things in there. Outstanding, driven, tight and right.
