Space

Boston Garden

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
Aug. 5, 1970
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.

The Other One
Feb. 3, 1968
Crystal Ballroom

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

Truckin'

Lindley Meadows, Golden Gate Park

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

Don't Ease Me In
March 24, 1970
Pirates World

Show has a pretty dosed vibe: very loose and wacky in places. This 'Ease' had a kickin' rocker quality. And I'd add: who knew this sweet ole tune could kick so sweetly? Rock on guys.
Here Comes Sunshine
May 26, 1973
Kezar Stadium

So much fun. Everyone totally on. Listened to it again on a good system and really got the feel for Bobby in the mix. Check out his weird interplay around 9:00 in.
They Love Each Other
May 25, 1977
The Mosque

My favorite '77 show. There, I said it.
Dark Star
March 24, 1970
Pirates World

Suffers from a cut, but drops you back into a jaw droppingly beautiful jam that teases a Feeling Groovy Jam but never quite gets there (to great effect). What a year, that 1970.
Cold Rain and Snow

Pirates World

Top notch. Full of that fine mercurial 1970 energy and swagger. The "yee-haw" from the crowd at the end is pretty funny, too.
