Greatest Story Ever Told

Academy of Music

The new SBD's are crystal clear, with everyone audible. Whoever that Billy guy is could sure play some goddamned drums. He's solid gold on this one.

Black Throated Wind

Charged up and triumphant. The whole week of shows before Europe is killer. Thanks go to C. Miller for the great archive versions.

Key moment in transforming PITB into a cosmic monster. 9.5 minutes of gooey goodness here. C.Miller's version is the best. Dig in boys.

The outro might be the three most intensely energetic minutes of GD music ever. The first part rocks too. Why not here yet? This show is a goldmine.

Now I know a lot of you don't dig this song, but goddamn they pour it on for this one. Great Jerry filagree backing the passionate vox. Listen to the

Cosmic Charlie
May 2, 1970
Harpur College

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.
