Bobby and Keith have a really brilliant exchange in the background here. Great version.

In a show overshadowed by its neighbors, this one stands out for coming together just brilliantly. Show needs more love.

Blisteringly hot group solo from about 4:25 onward, including a Phil episode of pure beautiful berserkness.

Great funk just right in that sweet, rockin' spot. Pig's voice is on, Jerry's on fire, and Keith sounds great.

Felt Forum - Madison Square Garden

Tremendous energy and a beautiful jam with a long China Cat jam in the first bit. What the Dead are all about.

More love here. After a firework-filled Sugar Mag opener, this lovely lady puts the solid groove down. Jerry just gives more and more and more.

Fillmore East

I try to avoid absolutes, but this is (currently) my favorite acoustic set. Beaut of a Dark Hollow here, folks. Bobby's voice is just perfect.
Big River

War Memorial

I'll take this one, thank you. Takes this tune way up over the top with high energy soloing. Great great show.
Big Railroad Blues
Sept. 20, 1970
Fillmore East

Convincing evidence for 1970 this. Brilliant, perfect acoustic Dead.
New Speedway Boogie

McMahon Stadium

Okay, I'll take the bait: you got a link that's not on the archive? Let us know. I'd love to hear some rare privileged early speedway dead.
