Pigpen's funky organ and early Jerry and the boy, very driving sound for early Dead!

The boys were in a really nice place this night. Killer harp work and Jerry is smoking. This is one of the better shows of 71 IMO!!

Jerry's guitar is smoking here. The beat is really funky also. Always a crowd pleaser!

First version of this played in a while and you can hear the crowd road. What a contrast to the fast upbeat set taking it way down. Love it!!!

Funky as they get, this entire second set is as groovy as they come. What a treat!

A real gem from one of the more underrated shows of May 77. This whole show is simply amazing!

Craziest version I've heard indeed. Garcia takes you into outer space at the 6:40 mark and never looks back!. Outstanding selection, thanks for the heads up!!

Kezar Stadium

Possibly my favorite show of 73'. Nice pick!

This is one of the best audience recordings you will ever hear. Put on the headphones and let Jerry take you to a very special place. If this does not typify what Jerry Garcia represents I don't know what does. The greatest musician to live, yes indeed!!!
