Yeah, Sugar Mag okay... but the Sunshine Daydream is tops. Just kills me each time I hear it.

Top form from a great 2nd set then into a ballsy TOO jam (no lyrics) and then one of the best Eyes of all time.

Let It Grow

Nassau Coliseum

First-ever performance. Mid-way they let it grow into experimental bliss. A must-have for LIG fans.

Intense jaming and crystal clear guitar work, plus Billy's hard driving makes it a barn-burner. Gets better each listen.

Really smooth and mellow groove 2nd set opener from a solid show after a month in the studio. Hard to see why not here yet.

The new mixes by Charlie Miller make this previously underrated show a great pleasure. This NFBM jam simmers and bubbles, crackling with energy. So nice to revisit this show with a new sound.

You're a bunch of loons. This one sucks. Real heads know that the best ever was at the free show at Sprekels Bandshell in Golden Gate Park back in '67. I know because I had it on a Maxell 46min cassette that I traded away for a ride up to Buffalo back in '74.

Swirling and swimmingly intricate and exploratory. Never gets dull, but cruises along at high speed into two very interesting, musically challenging Supplication transitions.

Tight and right. Great harp solo, and of course Pig's voice is perfect.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Golden Hall

Nice biting tone and electrified feel to the CC, reminding that the early Dead were a combination of sweet country cowboy poetry, and dangerous hard acid rock. The IKYR also plays in this open place. Nice version, and thanks for DP35! What a treat of a show.
