Berkeley Community Theatre
Kicks off arguably the best show of '72. Tight, fun, and rockin'. Great show opener.

Greatest Story Ever Told

If this were any week in Dead history other than before Veneta, it would already have 20 votes. Give it a listen. The whole show rocks.

Keith's versatility from swooshing psychedelic soarer to a honky-tonk barrelhouse master is on full display.

Pretty much note for note perfect, like this whole show.

Sweet rocker from this magical week of Dead perfection. Sleek and clean, this is a beaut of a version.

Cosmic Charlie

Shot out of the primal Dead cannon, it lands in the guns-blazing country Dead: I love 1970 for this transition. This is it for Cosmic Charlie fans.
The Other One
May 2, 1970
Harpur College
High voltage tight lightning jam without a meltdown. One of the best for the speedy coming up, (and great Crypticals) but it isn't where I'd go for the martian landscapes and astral peak trippyness in a TOO. Try Jan. 3, 1970 or May 20 '73 for that.
St. Stephen
June 14, 1968
Fillmore East
A proto-Stephen not yet polished into the psychedelic masterpiece that it became later in '68 and '69. Explosive energy coming out of a Feedback>Eleven and worth a listen with headphones, the AUD is rough but blazing hot.
Dark Star
June 14, 1969
Monterey Performing Arts Center
A "mini-Juggernaut", maybe? Blast-off moon-landing energy.
Eyes Of The World
Sept. 24, 1973
Civic Arena
One of the nicer horn-section versions from Sept. '73.
