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.

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.

Wild space.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Boston Garden

All around great show from a great run of shows. This China quickly moves into a IKYR-feel, then a great Feeling Groovy Jam. The Rider is stunningly good and the music just lifts off and takes wing.

Even by '73 standards this is hotter than hot. Listen to the whole concert: Not one clunker.

Top form '73 in a spectacular show from first note to finish. Truckin'>TOO>IKYR just mindbending. First set is a shitkickin' country bender. All good.

Totally overlooked concert.
