Solid powerful version where they start gelling perfectly for the set.

Uptempo, intense, driving statement of holy-fuckiyana rock'n'roll. Not one I usually +1, but this is worth it. The SSDD is dynamite.

Hard-charging diesel burner here. Bobby's nice and high in the mix, so a nice treat. The jam into TOO is brilliant.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Dec. 10, 1972
Winterland Arena

Why no love for this great show? It isn't one of the top 10 for the year - but it's '72 and they're flowing just exactly perfect.

A hot rocker with Phil high in the mix. This is a "get up and dance" version with everyone clearly having a blast.

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.
The Other One
May 2, 1970
Harpur College

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
June 14, 1969
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.
