Fun, tight version with great energy and tight vocals. Fun stuff.

McDonough Arena - Georgetown University

Begins sounding like the epic hard charging beast it becomes over the next months.

Not Fade Away

Cleveland Music Hall

The NFA>GDTRFB>NFA sequence in its infancy: 3rd time played, and remarkably smooth and perfect transitions with exuberant jamming.

The Other One

Cleveland Music Hall

Super-charged hard rocker here. Hits all the 1970 highlights, with power and precision: a white knuckler. Tape is rough AUD, w/ C. Miller cleanup.

One of Pig's best: Perfect vox, great harp solo. Jerry too. Some tape issues, but thanx Mr. Miller... thanks a lot.

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.
Playin' In The Band

William and Mary College Hall

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

Golden Hall

Tight and right. Great harp solo, and of course Pig's voice is perfect.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Aug. 7, 1971
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.
