Murky AUD and incomplete show on IA, but a blaze of fun, this one. Has an itty-bitty Mountain Jam at 1:25 for about 12 seconds.

Some rough spots coming back in, but a very interesting almost Santana-esque first jam and a great Pig groove. Interesting one.

Caution

Surprised it isn't here yet. Only one in '71 and it intensely musical and weirdly experimental. Crashes into a short feedback/tuning then a sweet UJB.

Moves between super-charged hard rocker and an open-spaced delicate beauty. Marred by a cut, so how far did it really go? Anyone have the complete?

Soaring jam flirts with tipping into the outer void. Wild beauty with Pig on B3 gives it something extra.

Not only is this version hot, but it's the bust-out too, setting up for all the great Bobby-Donna ones.

Agreed with Ernie5 here, this is a cool little one-off jam, which doesn't seem lost at all. Almost sounds like they were going into something else, but then got into one of the year's best Dancin's.

Dude 420, you are hearing that correctly. It appears the night before too. Check out this cool site on some of the recognisable jams: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2010/01/deads-early-thematic-jams.html

This and the stand alone on two days earlier are just bonkers-good. I love how this one comes way down for tree-skimmingly low-altitude high speed chase.

Weak outro though. This show has some soft spots.
