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.

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.

Turn On Your Love Light

Winterland Arena
The teeny-weeny NFA is just beautiful. This song (and whole show) fn rocks.
The Other One
April 15, 1970
Winterland Arena
Well worth it's place amongst the top Other Ones of all time (à la GD projects). Unique, high voltage jam, massive '70 sound at its best.
Weather Report Suite
Dec. 18, 1973
Curtis Hixon Convention Hall
This one has it all. One of the most energetic LIG's yet (listening chronologically since its debut), especially in terms of the new pathways they explored in the jam. Goes seamlessly into a beautiful Dark Star too, i.e. Dead heaven.
Greatest Story Ever Told
Dec. 18, 1973
Curtis Hixon Convention Hall
Hot stuff. Jerry's in absolute total command of his guitar. The band is so tight. For a song that sometimes seems like an afterthought, this one shoots out sparks.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Dec. 18, 1973
Curtis Hixon Convention Hall
A sparse and airy China Cat jam, like feathery clouds, and then they just keep kicking into higher and higher gear until we're cruising at high speed in the outer atmosphere. Real pretty.
