So, so tight! Holy shit! Spontanius combustion in the later half of this, my god. The video only makes it better!

Turn On Your Love Light
Nov. 15, 1969
Lanai Theater

Downright TRIBAL! If this had better sound quality it would be considered one of the best of '69. Helluva ride, clocking in at 42 minutes. Spin it!

Good Lovin'

Embryonic Good Lovin', but fascinating thinking of how Good Lovin' transformed over the next two years.

Sweet, sweet Pig. So laid back, this Easy Wind is sleazy as should be.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Aug. 27, 1972
Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

I haven't commented on this one before, but this is THE best China Rider, no doubt. They nail every aspect of it, and the Feelin' Groovy jam be unecessary, since they actually played this one as perfect. This show may be overrated, but this China Rider is almost underrated as it tears down every other version.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Winterland Arena

An okay China for the time, with a pretty straight-forward transition; but the Rider is something else. Great energy and playing, they felt the Rider that night. It deserves an upvote for that alone!

The Other One

Lille Fairgrounds

Listen to Keith, Phil and Billy at the start of this. One of my top TOOs. Edit: The start of this TOO is fiery indeed. Garcias notes when he enters the jam always makes me think of some snowstained mountain peaks, subtle yet brutal.
The Music Never Stopped

Horton Field House - Illinois State University

The 70th vote, because this is that X-factor Grateful Dead we all know and love.
