China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Short Cat, but very interesting transition, with Bobby driving in all his angular beauty, followed by a tight jamming Rider.

Want to here the '70 sound, the closeness, the transition from psychedlicore to country to arena rock? Here it is in all its chaotic beauty.

Like everything from this epic heady show, the boys are just exactly perfect. The vocals are so on. Jerry sounds great.

With the exception of the unfortunate tape flip, this is a pristine acoustic version. Jerry has the vox of an angel here.

Pure and perfect. Fans of '70 will already love it. Those discovering the acoustic Dead, here it is. Wow.

Deserves more love. Let It Grow just blasts off and leaves your jaw dropped. Hot hot stuff.

48 minute jam starts with Phil and Ned at their tweekiest. You've been warned, if that isn't your bag. (Not me, though, I dig that electric weirdness - you couldn't squeeze my pupils down to normal size even if you tried....)

Drops you through the wormhole right quick, this one. Not a beginner's 'Playin' by any stretch. (Don't try to convince a Dead skeptic with this big beast, oh no.) Goes in and through and out of many dark places, but the whole show is full of very outré jams and this really sets the tone for a big big show.

There's a whole lotta music in here. Listened to it over and over, still finding new things in there. Outstanding, driven, tight and right.
