High Time

Civic Auditorium

Understated and subtle. This is a mysterious beauty. Not for the AUDphobic, it has some sound/tape issues.

King Bee

Fillmore East

Don't overlook it b/c of a few tape quality issues. This is fundamental '70 Dead and Pig was in fine form.

Cumberland Blues

Fillmore East

Relentlessly pulsing at a full shitkickin' clip. A few tape speed issues, but whatta time. Excellent.

The Other One

Fillmore East

High heat, though the levels are set really low and it sounds muffled. Sounds like Pig was playing a Hammond B3 that gives it the extra horsepower.

Turn On Your Love Light

Family Dog at the Great Highway

The rap gets good and weird, and there's some funny doo-wop backup vocals around minute 17.

Playin' In The Band
Feb. 22, 1974
Winterland Arena

I'd vote on this one twice if I could. Just listened to it again for the first time in a while, and it really has everything you could want from a '73-'74 Playin'. Brilliant, spontaneous, electrifying set closer.
Looks Like Rain

Tivolis Koncertsal

Beautiful slide work. Perfect and discrete harmonies with Donna Jean. This is a 'never better' version for me. Love this konzert.
Dark Star
June 27, 1969
Veterans Auditorium

Nice stretched out version with different sections and melodic/rhythmic innovations, transiting from the simple and pretty to the hard rocking, to prankster tweekishness. Take an afternoon off and get with this whole show for some historic, mercurial and simply beautiful Dead.
Candyman
June 29, 1976
Auditorium Theatre

So many ways this song breathes life. This one puts me into a blissful peace. Jerry gets an incredible wah sound out, which must have just blown minds.
Caution
April 8, 1972
Wembley Empire Pool

Do whatever you can to hear this if you haven't already. They must have really blown some minds with DS>SugarMag>Caution. Reaches speedmetal levels of massive shreddosity.
