Hurts Me Too

Legion Stadium
Pig's vox never sounded better. Pure, fine Blue Ron soul and a rippin' set of solos, but sadly cuts out.

All about the jam. One of the mello raps of the era, and they go off in that way that says "let's do this forever". Why not here?

Sweetness in form and execution. Even the feedback from the monitors harmonises nicely. A gentle, delicate version.

Deep blues, two brilliant harp solos, great Jerry work (duh), and a Charlie Miller cleanup. Listen up!

Deep Elem Blues

Starts a little funny, but has that rare electric funk quality. On the recent C. Miller cleanup, so thank you sir.

Extensive and exploring jam suggesting what might have come of this song had it stayed in rotation a bit longer.

A wild ride. Great fun.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Dec. 28, 1969
International Speedway
Can't see +31's comments, (beta glitch?) but I'm going to agree with Cuse15420: The hot youthful energy is packed so tight that China Cat just bursts at its seams. Then the Rider is full of exhuberence and passion. If you love '69 (and really, heads, really) then this is kick-assed version and all around epic show should really do it for you.
Turn On Your Love Light
June 14, 1969
Monterey Performing Arts Center
Listen to the whole show (in the right order cuz the Archive set order is screwy) and you'll get it. The whole thing is a Love Light Sandwich that climaxes so intensely you'll have to hose yourself down. Ohhhhhh, to have been there....
The Eleven

Monterey Performing Arts Center
High velocity and somehow ordering chaos like only the '69 Dead knew how to do. The whole show is just a blazing glory.
