Merramec Community College
Almost a prayer. Stripped down, pure, harmonized and beautiful. Fans of the acoustic Candyman shouldn't pass this one by.

Sweet and solid show opener. A pure expression of the peak '70 year sound. Strap in and enjoy the show....

DuPont Gym - MIT
Yeehaw, but that's a sweet rare tune. Put Sawmill next to Slewfoot for gems from the era. Awesome stuff.

Uncle John's Band

DuPont Gym - MIT
An acoustic lovely. I think DG is there on backup. It's rough-hewn, like just a couple offriends jamming on the verge of the bad crazy 1970s.

Acoustic wow factor, with beautiful harmonies. Unfortunate gap towards the end, but worth it still.

Scarlet Begonias

Boston Garden
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.
Dark Hollow
Sept. 20, 1970
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
May 9, 1977
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
July 3, 1970
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.
