One of the lasts, and they're undoubtedly still jamming the shit out of it. Listen to them come out of drums and the head sez "pray it's not NFA" !!!

Pressure cooker here, just bursting with energy. Pig sounds great, Jerry goes full throttle. AUD quality B only, but worth every second.

Souped up high voltage versions here. The CC has that rippin' '69 energy and the vocals throughout nail it.

The Main Ten. Primordial Playin' groove. This is the deep Dead here. Powerful.

Continuing on 48 minutes of the immortal "kitchen sink" jam, this one holds its own to any other of the era.

Jerry's never sounded so crisp. He slashes through it like a sunlight machete.

Possible the tightest outro of all of them. Can I vote for this twice? Shieeeeeet, it just rocks.

This hits me deep in the brain. This is the sound of infinity, goodness in the cosmos, light triumphant, ecstasy. If streaming, don't bother with any copy other than Charlie Miller's.
