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.

Caution
Nov. 10, 1967
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.
