Great harp work from Pigpen, who's voice was still strong and full of blues: Great crunchy jamming from the band.

With the power to blast you out of your chair. Watch your dose, it's that strong.

Any question's about primal Dead? Answer's right here in the outro of this psychedelic monster. A really hard core brainmelter, this.

Has it all. Builds and builds up to a great peak with Jer and Keith playing all out behind a great Bobby performance.

Maybe I'm the only Head out there who digs this song, but damn if this isn't a beauty. Tight harmonies and a good-times feeling.

Peak Bobby+Donna era. This one bubbles on smoothly, slowly kicking up the intensity until it boils over in a triumph of sweet harmony.

Sweet one, if not a little bit scrambled to start.

Catches onto a powerful pulse around 7:30 in as they head to the outro. Seems like they sped up a bit from the beginning to the end, but that might just be me.

Closes out a perfect first set. The drummers are a psychic octopus of tight grooveness, Donna sounds as good as she ever did, and Jerry floats idea after idea and kisses everyone right smack on the third eye. Just brilliant monster mash from Keith too. What fun.

Phil swoops, Donna and Keith soar, the drummers are in perfect mindmeld and Jerry does what Jerry does. This is as fun as it gets with the great Scarlet solo pieces before she met her FTM life partner.
