Sweet fun in a gorgeous acoustic set. Clapalong crowd adds to the joy.

Slow waltz tempo. Bobby's voice gorgeous, Jerry's cantina filigree perfect. A perfect gem. AUD quality B-.

Pigpen gets a woman pregnant on stage. Rough AUD but utterly worth it. The jam starting around 16:00 is very hot.

School Gymnasium, S.U.N.Y.
A barnburner that suffers a bit from compressed sound quality (and a mic. problem), but still hot & worth a spin. Cryptical outro gets going nicely.

Sweet, mellow groove.

The drumming in TOO is some of the most powerful tribal ensemble-playing by the Dead ever. Oh, and the Cryptical outro just blows me away - getting heavier and hotter until it melts into Potato.

Might just like this one as much or more as 12.10.68. Guess I'll have to listen to both of 'em again....

Be cool <getinmyslice>, there's plenty of dead to go around and it's nice to see how different folks like different versions. The site can be just for "favorites" if you want, or also for interesting versions, historically important ones, curiousities, great jams that aren't the best but still good, forgotten shows, etc. It's a big dead world, friend.

Best Cryptical ever? The reprise is just insane. The OO is hyper ballistic too. A great '68 all '68 lovers need.
