With the NRPS and ridiculously perfect. Perfect vocals and Jerry's '70 pedal steel sound. Amazing.

Tight version, excellent Pig harp solo, then Jerry on bottle neck? Is that a slide? It's freakin' awesome, and the strong pulse makes it excellent.

Aight, we're going to just big up this whole show. This is delicious eat-me goo. Damn. May '70 is prime love. Dig the great recording too.

The vocals throughout this show are sublime. This is the era of three-part harmony. They were just so fresh, and every moment is a treat. Enjoy.

Crystal clear version, not sure why it's been overlooked. Beautiful vocals, great recording, indicative of the transition sound of the era.

Beautiful and unforgetable Jerry solo jam transition into a killer Wharf Rat sandwich.

Deep and dark Blues roots Dead with a tight and hot jam. All the reasons to listen to '67 are right here.

You can get genuinely lost in this jam. Seems infinite while you're in it. As Proud Walker Justin put it, a fine bit of acid rock, indeed.

Opens up in whole new directions suggesting what might have been had Pigpen stayed with us into the next era. A real gem.
