Me and Bobby McGee

Billy's high in the mix, and he drives. A perfect snapshot, with Bobby's sweet young voice in perfect form and a solid driven pulse throughout.

High-voltage and up tempo shuffle. Great sounding C. Miller cleanup.

They push the energy up and up and up. Special transition into OMSN. An all-round high voltage jamming show. Underrated.

High energy, shitkickingly good. The energy in this is off the charts.

Pig on a ferocious rampage, the band sizzling hot behind him, and all this in the first set. This show deserves more love.

Not Fade Away
Sept. 19, 1970
Fillmore East

It's 1970 and the Dead are all things packed into one like the last picasecond before the bigbang: psychedelia, blues, country, electric jazz, protopunk, lonesome cowboy badass, spacefoyoface, its all there. This NFA just kicks ass and has everything inside it.
Drums -> Space
April 19, 1982
Baltimore Civic Center

That's some deep dark water there. Love the prankster vibe. I bet they freaked some people way the fuck out with this. But nice of the boys to takes us back down with a sweet good-feeling wheel.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 25, 1977
The Mosque

Everything I love about the '77 Scarlets. Concise, sure, but also tight and uptempo without being rushed or speedy. Exploring new sounds and reaching out into the stratosphere. The FTM is brilliant, too.
Dark Star
Feb. 11, 1970
Fillmore East

Definitive setlist anyone? Archive has a killer TOO, Dire Wolf and a great Casey Jones before the MC introduces the Dead (?!). Incomplete early show? Oh and this Dark Star is amazing. Duane Allman brings on the hard, not as trippy as some, but good old rock and freaking roll.
The Other One
Feb. 11, 1970
Fillmore East

Confusion b/w archive and setlists.net. Anyone with info on this show?
