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.

Truckin'
July 31, 1974
Dillon Stadium

Really, really good. They go everywhere in this one, after the lyrics are done about 5:30 in, this goes from an average/sloppy Truckin' to a top 10 version in no time. Incredible!
Save the Whales
Feb. 9, 1969
Monterey Bay Aquarium

What even is this? The archive link goes nowhere, and i can't find this anywhere. Huh? Guys?
Dark Star
Nov. 11, 1973
Winterland Arena

I just can't imagine anything getting better than this, it goes full-on multi dimensional. Edit: Canadude below me says it better than i would. Kreutzmanns on display here.
Caution
Nov. 8, 1969
Fillmore West

A loose Caution from a loose show (one of my favourites), they have total control over this mindnumbing beast on this one.
King Solomon's Marbles
June 17, 1975
Winterland Arena

A more chill and refined (but also more cosmic) version of the Kezar version, the Blues for Allah > Stronger than Dirt > Drums > Stronger than Dirt > Blues for Allah suite is mindblowing, i love those shows.
