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.

Caution
May 11, 1972
Rotterdam Civic Hall

Of all the Europe '72 Cautions, this one has the most aggressive Pig. I think 4/17 has more jammed out sections, with pig just floating above the lot, so this one isn't quite at the top. Still an amazing version, they really back Pig brilliantly in this one.
Dark Star
Sept. 19, 1970
Fillmore East

Instant favourite. You can easily imagine the boys smiling at eachother during that space.. It almost goes too far out there! Maybe one of '70s best, this one moves me in a way no other DS does.
Truckin'
April 12, 1978
Cameron Indoor Stadium

Holy.. Thanks for mentioning this, an insanely good version. My favourite Truckin' next to the 5/3 '72 one!
Caution
April 17, 1972
Tivolis Koncertsal

So jazzy, Bill was on fire. They are absolutely all over the place in this one. About 9 and a half minutes in, after Garcias "guitar-solo", the bands melts, and doesn't come back. Cause my back is soaking wet.
Caution
April 8, 1972
Wembley Empire Pool

This is a perfect example of the Dead taming a monster. They stay on the edge throughout the jam, but never go to far out there. A perfect Caution, though not as wild as the '68 ones.
