2nd one ever, and it seems like they're still getting it together. Nicely stripped down and clear vocals. Historically interesting.

Massive enthusiasm, Jerry sings himself hoarse. Brilliant, in spite of poor AUD quality.

All the inferno-intensity of the great '72s (yeah, those ones) condensced to 14min. Only reason not here is the B- AUD quality. Don't miss it!

AUD-only supernova, not for the SBD-only folks. The band is so tight, the arc or the song just exactly perfect.

Listen past the saturated AUD murk and behold a masterpiece. High energy, hitting the highlights and ending on a perfect feedback whine. Great show.

Sweet, mellow groove.

The drumming in TOO is some of the most powerful tribal ensemble-playing by the Dead ever. Oh, and the Cryptical outro just blows me away - getting heavier and hotter until it melts into Potato.

Might just like this one as much or more as 12.10.68. Guess I'll have to listen to both of 'em again....

Be cool <getinmyslice>, there's plenty of dead to go around and it's nice to see how different folks like different versions. The site can be just for "favorites" if you want, or also for interesting versions, historically important ones, curiousities, great jams that aren't the best but still good, forgotten shows, etc. It's a big dead world, friend.

Best Cryptical ever? The reprise is just insane. The OO is hyper ballistic too. A great '68 all '68 lovers need.
