One of the lasts, and they're undoubtedly still jamming the shit out of it. Listen to them come out of drums and the head sez "pray it's not NFA" !!!

Pressure cooker here, just bursting with energy. Pig sounds great, Jerry goes full throttle. AUD quality B only, but worth every second.

Souped up high voltage versions here. The CC has that rippin' '69 energy and the vocals throughout nail it.

The Main Ten. Primordial Playin' groove. This is the deep Dead here. Powerful.

Fillmore West

Continuing on 48 minutes of the immortal "kitchen sink" jam, this one holds its own to any other of the era.

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.

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.

War Memorial

I'll take this one, thank you. Takes this tune way up over the top with high energy soloing. Great great show.

Convincing evidence for 1970 this. Brilliant, perfect acoustic Dead.

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.
