First DS>Stephen>Eleven merits mention here, plus it's freaking groovy '68 Dead: No meltdown here (not yet), just 13 min. of 1st edition Dark Star.

Check out "Primal Alligator Jam" on Feb. 07, 1969 and tell me this isn't a Mountain Jam. Anyone? In any case, I'm blown away by it.

Under the radar show, but blazing, blistering, and hard rocking Love Light. The whole set is outrageous.

Perfect execution, Jerry just note for note brilliant, Bobby sings like a man possessed. AUD quality A/A-

Bob Weir's Studio

You ain't never heard anything like this. It's about half-speed, super mellow, almost Jamaican vibe. For a rehearsal, this sounds just oh so sweet.

The Other One

Kezar Stadium

One of the best Bobby-Jerry meltdown conversations during a TOO that I know of: Helped by fine stereo panning for the different guitars and great sound.

Rising and falling (y'all) intesity and super-charged rhthymic complications make for an interesting version. Keith on Rhodes is nice and of course we've got great sound for the Kezar shows.

Badass cowboys. Go Dead!
Playin' In The Band

Kezar Stadium

Absolutely burning. Great improvements on the C.Miller versions. Keith's contribution really shines. Kezar gets a lot of play of course, but check out 22, 26, 28, 30 and 31 March for total Playin' headiness, some of which are arguably more interesting, tighter and more shredding than here. (Headphones only for some with sound quality issues.)
