Me and Bobby McGee

Billy's high in the mix, and he drives. A perfect snapshot, with Bobby's sweet young voice in perfect form and a solid driven pulse throughout.

High-voltage and up tempo shuffle. Great sounding C. Miller cleanup.

They push the energy up and up and up. Special transition into OMSN. An all-round high voltage jamming show. Underrated.

High energy, shitkickingly good. The energy in this is off the charts.

Pig on a ferocious rampage, the band sizzling hot behind him, and all this in the first set. This show deserves more love.

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.
