Great harp work from Pigpen, who's voice was still strong and full of blues: Great crunchy jamming from the band.

With the power to blast you out of your chair. Watch your dose, it's that strong.

Any question's about primal Dead? Answer's right here in the outro of this psychedelic monster. A really hard core brainmelter, this.

Has it all. Builds and builds up to a great peak with Jer and Keith playing all out behind a great Bobby performance.

Maybe I'm the only Head out there who digs this song, but damn if this isn't a beauty. Tight harmonies and a good-times feeling.

More love here. After a firework-filled Sugar Mag opener, this lovely lady puts the solid groove down. Jerry just gives more and more and more.
Dark Hollow
Sept. 20, 1970
Fillmore East
I try to avoid absolutes, but this is (currently) my favorite acoustic set. Beaut of a Dark Hollow here, folks. Bobby's voice is just perfect.
Big River

War Memorial
I'll take this one, thank you. Takes this tune way up over the top with high energy soloing. Great great show.
Big Railroad Blues
Sept. 20, 1970
Fillmore East
Convincing evidence for 1970 this. Brilliant, perfect acoustic Dead.
New Speedway Boogie
July 3, 1970
McMahon Stadium
Okay, I'll take the bait: you got a link that's not on the archive? Let us know. I'd love to hear some rare privileged early speedway dead.
