Not the best recording, but Jerry vocals are just right on this version.

Bobby's voice is in top form on this tight, energetic version. The transition into NFA is flawless.

This is a tight, high enegy, version. Really about as good as this song got. You can tell the audience agreed.

Good acoustic version of this song. The audio quality isn't as good as the 05/70 versions but the playing and vocals are quite good.

Good Morning Little Schoolgirl

Avalon Ballroom

This is about as good as this song got, in my opinion. This is some of Pig's best harp playing and Jerry is at his 1966 best, for sure.

Jerry's fingers where flying across that red SG. Classic stuff!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Oct. 31, 1970
School Gymnasium, S.U.N.Y.

Agreed, but it is unique because of the addition of the New Riders. To bad it cuts off abruptly.

The Matrix Club

No wonder it sounds as good as 12-01, because it is 12-01. Good ear Dark Star 67. I think a lot of the 66 recordings might be mislabeled. 12-01-66 is Rolling Stone pick for best concert of that year. All of late 66 sounds pretty good.
Brokedown Palace

Strand Lyceum

Pig pen is playing organ along with Keith's piano, on this one. This was kind of a rarity by this point in their musical evolution. This is a very nice version from a very good 72 Europe show.
