Bliss. Feb. '70 is full of peak Dead. This doesn't disappoint.

Why not here yet? This show has it all, and this Eleven just slays it. Balls out, high-energy jams from everyone.

Ungano's Night Club
Like the night before, this just blazes with crackling electric fire. Great mix and channel separation with Bobby nice and clear helps. Overlooked.

Crisp recording with nicely mixed Bobby on separate channel = rare treat in this tight Stephen. Great show.

Playin' In The Band
Feb. 22, 1974
Winterland Arena
I'd vote on this one twice if I could. Just listened to it again for the first time in a while, and it really has everything you could want from a '73-'74 Playin'. Brilliant, spontaneous, electrifying set closer.
Looks Like Rain

Tivolis Koncertsal
Beautiful slide work. Perfect and discrete harmonies with Donna Jean. This is a 'never better' version for me. Love this konzert.
Dark Star
June 27, 1969
Veterans Auditorium
Nice stretched out version with different sections and melodic/rhythmic innovations, transiting from the simple and pretty to the hard rocking, to prankster tweekishness. Take an afternoon off and get with this whole show for some historic, mercurial and simply beautiful Dead.
Candyman
June 29, 1976
Auditorium Theatre
So many ways this song breathes life. This one puts me into a blissful peace. Jerry gets an incredible wah sound out, which must have just blown minds.
Caution
April 8, 1972
Wembley Empire Pool
Do whatever you can to hear this if you haven't already. They must have really blown some minds with DS>SugarMag>Caution. Reaches speedmetal levels of massive shreddosity.
