Has it all, and goes seamlessly into a killer Lovelight. Not catching why this show is the bomb? Try HEADPHONES - makes a big difference!

Let It Grow

Providence Civic Center

As a young head I used to scream out for LIG and this one reminds me why. They click into place for a monster show right here.

Scarlet scrambled eggs deconstructed and elemental. Fun and Jerry is on fire, but we can't say 'flawless'. Chaotic fun. Band's just warming up....

Bird Song

Dillon Gym

A strangly deconstructed early version (7th time ever), very loose in the joints. But it rolls along with great lopsided beauty. Interesting.

Extensive and exploring jam suggesting what might have come of this song had it stayed in rotation a bit longer.

A wild ride. Great fun.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Dec. 28, 1969
International Speedway

Can't see +31's comments, (beta glitch?) but I'm going to agree with Cuse15420: The hot youthful energy is packed so tight that China Cat just bursts at its seams. Then the Rider is full of exhuberence and passion. If you love '69 (and really, heads, really) then this is kick-assed version and all around epic show should really do it for you.
Turn On Your Love Light
June 14, 1969
Monterey Performing Arts Center

Listen to the whole show (in the right order cuz the Archive set order is screwy) and you'll get it. The whole thing is a Love Light Sandwich that climaxes so intensely you'll have to hose yourself down. Ohhhhhh, to have been there....
The Eleven

Monterey Performing Arts Center

High velocity and somehow ordering chaos like only the '69 Dead knew how to do. The whole show is just a blazing glory.
