Shoots you straight out of the cannon. Super tight jam into a sweet sweet Wharf Rat

Playin' In The Band

Civic Arena

Students of Playin's transformation from the Main Ten to country single to cosmic monster should check this. Tightly packed and just about to sprout.

Listen closely and you can hear exactly where April '71 becomes legendary.

Mega show here folks. Bobby's high in the mix and driving the train. The China's fine, but the Rider kicks serious ass.

Caution
Nov. 10, 1967
Shrine Auditorium

All you need, indeed: Blisteringly hot, Phil and Pigpen in overdrive, tripped out raps, exploratory spacemelts....

Just brilliant. Speeds up, slows down, but always tight. Primal? Pre-primal? This is also the show with the epic Caution which ends up on Anthem.
China Cat Sunflower

Carousel Ballroom

The organ part on this version is just beautiful and Pig's just on through the whole gig. I love the early Dead and this show just keeps on giving.

Eureka Municipal Auditorium

Some of the best playing from Pig on any Dead recording. He's right in the pocket. This is why I dig the primal dead.

Just blazing! Massive early dead.
