Sparkles. Has an electric country sound that just crackles with energy. Perfect execution.

An ultimate performance. Jerry's voice is in perfect shape. Powerful, chilling version that will make your hair stand on end. Shamefully overlooked.

Powerful tight playing. C.Miller cleanup, boys playing the 1st set like their lives depended on it. Peak Dead.

Note for note precise, beautiful playing. The outro is lovely and doesn't descend into madness. Donna gives it a nice gospel touch.

Caution

Shrine Auditorium

All you need, indeed: Blisteringly hot, Phil and Pigpen in overdrive, tripped out raps, exploratory spacemelts....

Just brilliant. Speeds up, slows down, but always tight. Primal? Pre-primal? This is also the show with the epic Caution which ends up on Anthem.

The organ part on this version is just beautiful and Pig's just on through the whole gig. I love the early Dead and this show just keeps on giving.

Some of the best playing from Pig on any Dead recording. He's right in the pocket. This is why I dig the primal dead.

Just blazing! Massive early dead.
