Never thought I'd dig this song so much. They're just so on this whole night (week actually).

Embryonic "Fire" in the "soundcheck jam" into Wharf Rat. Not a full FTM, but of amazing Deadfulness and not listed elsewhere. Check it out!

Not Fade Away
Sept. 19, 1970
Fillmore East

It's 1970 and the Dead are all things packed into one like the last picasecond before the bigbang: psychedelia, blues, country, electric jazz, protopunk, lonesome cowboy badass, spacefoyoface, its all there. This NFA just kicks ass and has everything inside it.
Drums -> Space
April 19, 1982
Baltimore Civic Center

That's some deep dark water there. Love the prankster vibe. I bet they freaked some people way the fuck out with this. But nice of the boys to takes us back down with a sweet good-feeling wheel.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 25, 1977
The Mosque

Everything I love about the '77 Scarlets. Concise, sure, but also tight and uptempo without being rushed or speedy. Exploring new sounds and reaching out into the stratosphere. The FTM is brilliant, too.
Dark Star
Feb. 11, 1970
Fillmore East

Definitive setlist anyone? Archive has a killer TOO, Dire Wolf and a great Casey Jones before the MC introduces the Dead (?!). Incomplete early show? Oh and this Dark Star is amazing. Duane Allman brings on the hard, not as trippy as some, but good old rock and freaking roll.
The Other One
Feb. 11, 1970
Fillmore East

Confusion b/w archive and setlists.net. Anyone with info on this show?
