Ramble On Rose

This is a clear and well delivered version of this song. Jerry's vocals are strong and Keith is adding some very nice honky-tonk piano!

Good Morning Little Schoolgirl

The Music Box

Very solid bluesy show opener for what whould soon be a psychadelic explosion. Jerry's Gibson tone permiates your bones.

This is pure 69 psychadelic energy, at it's very best!

Crisp, clean and energetic. Bobby's guitar is up in the mix, and it was about 8 months before Keith's piano would step on his complex rythm work!

Winterland Arena

This is another example of the fantastic, energetic, psyhadelic magic that the boys got, post Mickey and pre Keith!

Hard to Handle

Fillmore East

I can't see why this version is so far behind 08/06/71 in votes. All of the April, 71 - Fillmore versions should be right up there.

This one is just bursting with energy. The best of the April 71 Fillmore shows and at least as good as the 08/06/71 version, in my opinion. This one of Bobby's better solos on this song. And Jerrys tearing this one up!

until about 4.30 into this one, this version is really good but not any better then the 4-71 Fillmore versions. But when Jerry takes his outstanding solo, the energy of the whole band kicks in and this becomes a barn burner. Overall, though, I think the 4/27/71 version is every bit as good as this one.

This show isn't on the archive. Crow or DS67 any info on this one?

The Ned part of that is referring to Ned Lagin, who was an experimental electronic key board player who sat in with the Dead, occasionally, in the early to mid 70s. He and Phil where good friends and would occasionally perform some very avant-garde material; also known as weard shit!
