Get past murk with good headphones and you find a gem: Bobby's vox perfect, the arc powerful, Jer and Keith possessed.

Uptempo, and with a hard swagger, with a beaut of a Rio section. 2nd ever, sounds like they're still settling on the vibe.

Solid, emotional version. Bobby was on.

From blisteringly hot, into a sweet-and-light outro > OMSN, turning on a dime. Great fun.

Rip-roarin' version. The 2nd set perks up quite a bit after a sleepy 1st. Pig was still on.

Caution

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.

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.

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.
