2nd one ever, and doesn't flow perfectly yet. They're working out the lovely 3-part harmonies and it's just fantastic transitional Dead.

Sweetness in the '70 acoustic key. Confusing setlist/archive on this show, but worth a listen.

In spite of a bit of tape wobble, this is an otherwise pristine version, with everyone keyed up right. A tight solo and a fun time.

Fast acoustic pickin' with alternative lyrics. Sounds almost like a 12-string in places. Is that possible?

All the power and, let's admit it AMBIVALENCE by our boys is on here. They flub the lyrics but bigbang the jam. We are the answer to the answer, man.

Has it all. This set is just outrageously perfect.

Never drifts or waddles, just lifts off and flies away on a long and beautiful journey across it all and back again.

LIG on its own is up there with the most interesting and beautiful ones ever.

First one in six years (09/1970). Very pretty and beautifully harmonised. You know, Donna gets so little love here, but listen up here and you'll hear something of what the boys heard in her.
