Swamp blooze. Pigpen was well on this night.

Starts a bit rough, but the final solo and out chorus builds and builds into a blazing triumph.

Enter the pedal steel. Goddamned sweet sounds here. It's unfortunately cut off, but worth every precious second.

Turn On Your Love Light

Pure '70 Dead. Like the HH before, this one grows steadily up to the full berserk, rather than exploding from go. Pig/Bobby outro is immortal.

Gorgeous harmonising and soulful singing. A clean, strong version that never drags.

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.

Goddamned double posts again. Sorry.
