1st ever, slightly different lyrics, but an incredible delivery and freshness. Tricksters intro the country sound for NY heads expecting Alligator.

Inside this not great show is a beautiful short acoustic set, including this perfect beauty. Totally overlooked.

Sweet acoustic version. Bobby is spot on.

Absolutely pristine version with clear harmonies and beautiful emotive singing. Not a beloved show, but give this one a chance.

The Other One

Civic Auditorium

A blazing supernova of psychedelic force. Packs quite a wallop for only six and half short minutes.

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.

Golden Hall

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.
