Fillmore West

Short Cat, but very interesting transition, with Bobby driving in all his angular beauty, followed by a tight jamming Rider.

Want to here the '70 sound, the closeness, the transition from psychedlicore to country to arena rock? Here it is in all its chaotic beauty.

Like everything from this epic heady show, the boys are just exactly perfect. The vocals are so on. Jerry sounds great.

With the exception of the unfortunate tape flip, this is a pristine acoustic version. Jerry has the vox of an angel here.

Pure and perfect. Fans of '70 will already love it. Those discovering the acoustic Dead, here it is. Wow.

This whole run is beyond immortal and every CRS just kicks. This one is brilliant.

Hey there's a bit of Terrapin in here. Check out Jerry's melodic lines starting just around 06:50. Am I crazy or is there a little theme that suggests they were already working it out, and he slipped in in? So cool.

Exactly what darkstar 67 et al said here. I'd only add that Jerry solos throughout with quicksilver brilliance, note-for-note beauty. He was bursting with ideas here.

This isn't space. This is just TOO>Morning Dew. It's awesome, but calling it space is anachronistic.

One of the nicest ones I know from '76.
