Elegance defined. Some of the sweetest vocal harmonies of the era. Nailed it.

Phil and Pigpen interplay like few others I know. Brilliant and clear, with a thumping good vibe.

Show is all highlights, and NFA-GDRFB-NFA caps it in style. Listen to the whole set for full effect and feel the love.

Kesey video after 12 min. of Ollin Arrageed, worth every second: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMAKJfuP4II

Thanks, brother. That makes good sense to me.

Where does this circulate? Not on DP 26 with the rest of the show and I'd love to hear it. There's a beautiful but short version of Hunter singing it live on YouTube as gentle minuet. Apparently it started as a real song and got outer-spheres weird in the studio. This the only known live version (or tape over live feedback) of it and remains my grail point for hardcore psychedelic Dead. Any leads out there?

Note for note perfect Dead. This show is unbelievably full of outrageously beautiful playing, it blows me away how under-the-radar this is. I know it's a cliché but this one is really a "forgotten gem".

Played just two times ever, right before Pigpen went into hospital. Wonder if they would have kept it in rotation otherwise? It's a pretty hard-rocking low and dirty blues, and a rare gem indeed. Nice mix on the C. Miller cleanup.

This one could go much higher on the list. Brilliant jam, great transition. Pretty much perfect.
