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.

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

Playin' In The Band
Nov. 7, 1971
Harding Theatre

Sounds like Keith's on a honky-tonk acoustic, well mic'd (amplified (well who knows maybe otherwise too)) for this cool '71 version. Phil's all over it too. Really hot show - just amazing how they're pushing and pulling against the melody before the out chorus.

Surf punk! 10 years before the Sex Pistols. Who said these guys were hippies?!

Total '67 insanity. Fully shredding, the fastest version I know from back when the boys were considered menaces to straight society. A raging mad maelstrom with a penchant for dosing the uninitiated. This whole show explodes.
Eyes Of The World
June 30, 1974
Civic Center

Show is something different from the juggernauts from earlier on the tour, so doesn't get all the love it deserves. This Eyes is so inventive and exploratory, subtle yet bizarre. Great stuff. Nice Slipknot tease around 11:15. It's the 2nd one in the show after the melt from UJB back into Playin' earlier.
Scarlet Begonias
June 30, 1974
Civic Center

The groove, the groove: Captures the complexity and beauty of Scarlet all the while up on its toes for a traipsing sensual and funtime dance-along. Hot mellow summertime Dead goodness like all the best of '73-'74.
