Sea Stones: Space noise electronica with Phil & Ned. Not for everyone, but sends me into well into the interstellar place.

May-June '74 might be my top time for Sugaree. This just builds up to so much intensity. Great stuff.

Candyman

Golden Hall - San Diego Community Concourse

Intimacy levels: Campfire. Acoustic mellow to the point where I feel like just went camping with my favorite band. A treasure.

Clutch yer nuts and hold on for dear life. Heavy headiness where the squiggly hippies and the madman bikers get massively Dead nailed.

Lindley Meadows, Golden Gate Park

Explosive jam like they had 11 months of unplayed Truckin's compressed into one.

Playin' In The Band
Dec. 14, 1971
Hill Auditorium

Right on gdtrfb headly mellon. I've always been fascinated by the development of Playin' and looks like you've done the research. I think the germ of Bacchus Dionysus always lay deep in Playin's "The Main Ten" kernel, and it took them just over a year to birth the young and reckless God within it. Check out the Capitol Theater shows on 06 & 08 November 1970 if you haven't already.
Black Peter

Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center

I was there and there was a lot of emotion running through the scene when this came on. The whole run at Kaiser carries a lot of weight as another turning point in the story. Thanks for the flashback.
Me and Bobby McGee
May 3, 1972
Olympia Theater

Sweet sweet lovin' for you and balm for your soul spliced right there inside a wicked 40 minute TOO from the dark side. Sweetness and light with jagged bits of scary return.

This is a deep ride. Love how in emerges from a trickle into a raging cataract. Check how Phil tries to lead it in about 7 min but gets vetoed by the others, who have more deep space to explore first. 17 min jam before the first verse - almost 40 minutes total not including 3 min of drums in the middle. And a gorgeous Bobby McGee sandwich. Wow.

Apocalyptic hard rock from the hard core era. Did they ever sound so dangerous again as they did until 01.01.1970? Like a deep 'scare the squares and watch out for flying metal' dangerous. Skull-fucked indeed.
