Chinatown Shuffle

Strand Lyceum

Rip-roarin' version. The 2nd set perks up quite a bit after a sleepy 1st. Pig was still on.

2nd one ever, and it seems like they're still getting it together. Nicely stripped down and clear vocals. Historically interesting.

Massive enthusiasm, Jerry sings himself hoarse. Brilliant, in spite of poor AUD quality.

Playin' In The Band

Dillon Stadium

All the inferno-intensity of the great '72s (yeah, those ones) condensced to 14min. Only reason not here is the B- AUD quality. Don't miss it!

AUD-only supernova, not for the SBD-only folks. The band is so tight, the arc or the song just exactly perfect.

Fillmore Auditorium

Outrageous jam on this early gem. Pigpen's voice is perfect and the band goes bananas behind him.

Starts a little rougher, but turns into a solid-fuel rocket and blasts off in a truly inspired jam.

Merriweather Post Pavilion

Y'all got me: This is magic. Just how dialled in do you have to be to meet lighting bolts with thunder? Go Phil go...

Avalon Ballroom

Deep and dark. Wonderful, mysterious and powerful.
Midnight Hour
Sept. 16, 1966
Avalon Ballroom

This is probably the first recording of Pigpen-as-life-coach, rapping about just what to do and just how to do it.
