Want to know what it felt like to be Phil's axe, I mean like every single goddamned fiber of it? Strap on headphones and now you'll know.

Hot version with super-fast pickin'. Much fun.

Capping a brilliant show and hiding a nice Mountain Jam. This show doesn't get all the love it deserves.

Supercharged and hard rocking. Boys had some strong stuff in them this night.

Of course. Every April'71 is outta sight, and this one pumps diesel.

Cosmic Charlie

Shot out of the primal Dead cannon, it lands in the guns-blazing country Dead: I love 1970 for this transition. This is it for Cosmic Charlie fans.

High voltage tight lightning jam without a meltdown. One of the best for the speedy coming up, (and great Crypticals) but it isn't where I'd go for the martian landscapes and astral peak trippyness in a TOO. Try Jan. 3, 1970 or May 20 '73 for that.
St. Stephen
June 14, 1968
Fillmore East

A proto-Stephen not yet polished into the psychedelic masterpiece that it became later in '68 and '69. Explosive energy coming out of a Feedback>Eleven and worth a listen with headphones, the AUD is rough but blazing hot.
Dark Star

Monterey Performing Arts Center

A "mini-Juggernaut", maybe? Blast-off moon-landing energy.
Eyes Of The World
Sept. 24, 1973
Civic Arena

One of the nicer horn-section versions from Sept. '73.
