Bliss. Feb. '70 is full of peak Dead. This doesn't disappoint.

Why not here yet? This show has it all, and this Eleven just slays it. Balls out, high-energy jams from everyone.

Ungano's Night Club
Like the night before, this just blazes with crackling electric fire. Great mix and channel separation with Bobby nice and clear helps. Overlooked.

Crisp recording with nicely mixed Bobby on separate channel = rare treat in this tight Stephen. Great show.

Hill Auditorium
A fun rare bit of Chuck Berry's often-overlooked influence on the Dead (and all of Rock and Roll, for that matter).

Proof that Pig and Keith went together like potatos and gravy. Pig's voice harp solo are just tops.
Playin' In The Band
Dec. 12, 1973
Omni Coliseum
Like much of '73 this is what I call "hot mellow". Energetic but nicely spacey. Cool version.
Dark Star
Dec. 6, 1973
Public Hall
Oh man, now that's a great Dark Star. Love when Phil just phases in around 12:00 (and again at 19:00) like you're abandoning gravity. That this kind of music was performed live is just too fucking cool for words, but hey, I like Seastones, too.
Here Comes Sunshine

Public Hall
Any advice on versions without that glaring AUD patch at the end?
