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

I love this version. It's got oomph and doesn't put you to sleep. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyAOwP8dLqc for video.

Fire On The Mountain

Grand Prix Racecourse

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

Bird Song
April 29, 1971
Fillmore East

Played a full step lower than in later years.
Hard to Handle

Fillmore East

Jerry soloing behind Pig's lead here (and elsewhere) is too hot. Get's the sap running.

Olympic Center

This is a perfect version: Energetic, but not cokey, clear vocals, and soaring, driven, take-control solos. I'll take this ride anytime.
Turn On Your Love Light
Aug. 6, 1971
Hollywood Palladium

Great vintage dead. Everyone was on for the show and Pig was blazing from beginning to end. Think I'll (a year later) add that around 18:00 they get into some very cool melodic inventions. Nice nice nice.
El Paso
Aug. 6, 1971
Hollywood Palladium

Would love to hear it, but the versions of this date on the Archive with El Paso seem to be DPs, not-for-streaming. Any ideas why the different songlists for this great date?
