A true Grateful Dead artifact. This audience recording is second-to-none for the early years, and the atmosphere it creates is divine.

I have come around on the notion that the El Paso is a nice weird turn, or as one post said, a nice Prankster moment. And, yeah, maybe the world would've ended if they had gone into Dew, so that's a good thing. By extension, one might say, the Pranksters saved the world.

That's fantastic. Seriously, are there any contemporaries that can come even close to the Dead when it comes to drawing emotions out of listeners? I highly doubt it. Nothin like 'em.

I'd say go there indirectly, and experience this greatest of all jam sets in its entirety.
