The intro isn't much, but the outro just swells up and hits you in the head like a bag of hammers. Explosive power. Outrageous.

Massive crunching slammer. Wrongfully ignored show. Hot Cryptical outro, too.

Why is this classic and historically important show ignored? They sound great here. Enjoy.

Smokey gut-bucket blooze. Damned fine.

Great vocals and wild harmony with a sweet jam from an historically important show.

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.
