This one is the sound of a band that knows it can do pretty much anything. Smooth and fiery.

Fillmore East (Late Show)

Early show - but yeah: this one is fine-tuned and delicious. Love the TC organ and the drummers are locked in perfectly. All shown off on DP30 which features a beautifully re-mastered Owsley recording and who doesn't dig that?

Like they were shot out of a cannon - just glad to alive, going to Europe in a week (for 2 months), and having a song like this. Kreutzmann and Weir shine in partic.

Stunned myself! Nothing from any of the Ark shows should be left off at this late date.

Yeah - the outta tune thing doesn't really bug me. Often it probably would. This is just a great show.

Swings like a bitch. Can't even single out a lone peak performer. Everyone shines in this sharp, bouncy orb.
