1970, this is new and the boys sound so full of energy and excitement. The whole show has just been reseeded on IA, worth a listen.

The Dead were many things to many people and here they are a shit hot Blues band, Pigpen wailing and blowing some of his most anguished blues ever. This whole show is a bit overlooked.
