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.

Jerry shredding Playin', turning it on, up, inside out. Ridiculous light-speed soloing. This is why I listen to the Dead.

He's Gone>Truckin>TOO>Eyes = over 60 minutes of perfect jamming as they got their amazing '73 sound together in this wet dream of a 2nd set .

Check out the 'silence' around 7:30 followed by Phil's amazing sonic boom re-entry to go into the verse. Bang!
