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.

Blisteringly hot version here. Great show all 'round.

Edmundson Pavilion

Seriously tight and intricate. What a show this must have been. Phil's extensive soloing shows off his enormous genius.

A hell of a lot of music in these 46 minutes. I wouldn't say it gets as freaky as some, say 02.12.73, but endlessly fascinating. Something to contemplate, enjoy, and fade in and out to.

Dane County Coliseum

Played almost as a boogie-woogie, and Keith shows off his stride chops. Just lickety-split and dandy.
Mind Left Body Jam
May 19, 1974
Portland Memorial Coliseum

Turns MLB from a serene chill-out groove into a funk-blaster, and Jerry lets you know it with some vicious steam-whistle guitar noise at the start. Coooooooooooool.
