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'

Lanai Theater

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.

Not Fade Away
June 20, 1980
West High Auditorium

I liked this, a different but very cool NFA. Are there any other cool early Brent NFAs that stand out like this one?
Clementine
Jan. 26, 1969
Avalon Ballroom

I believe the riff he quotes is the bass line from "Greensleeves": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nK265pszTvA There is a "Coltrane and the Dead" post in the deadessays blog, it's definitely an interesting read. Glad you liked the Dark Star darkstar, haha!
Cryptical Envelopment
Sept. 23, 1972
Palace Theater

They should have kept it i feel, they could've taken it to another level with the jazz they would incorporate in '73-'74. A neat little nugget, from a good show.
Dark Star
Nov. 19, 1972
Hofheinz Pavilion

Overlooked, this is one of the most engaging Dark Stars of late '72, with Lesh quoting the Clementine riff from 1/26/1969 (it sounds familiar, Miles Davis maybe?) segueing into a proto-WRS interlude. Intricate and very comforting, a top shelf Dark Star.
Midnight Hour
Feb. 14, 1968
Carousel Ballroom

The out of tune guitar from Garcia is here is.. horrendous, to say the least.
