The AUD is amazing. Keith shines, and everybody's into it. Bootstrap '76 knockin' down your door.

To the point - and totally out of the blue. This is Dead magic.

One of their truly psychedelic songs, on a truly psychedelic night. Incredible transition from Cryptical.

Turn On Your Love Light
Dec. 15, 1971
Hill Auditorium

I may have to edit this sometime soon, but as it stands at the present moment, this is just a notch more fiery than the Jahrhunderthalle. It screams. EDIT: Criminally good. It stands as the best of '71. 8/6/71 is good, but not as flowing an diverse as this one. Always exciting, peeking into new jamscapes but never straying too far from Lovelight. Explosive and rocking with that lovely piano sound Keith had in the latter half of 1971.
Dancin' in the Streets
Oct. 27, 1979
Cape Cod Coliseum

Kbeast, i got the same feeling. It hits the sweetspot and rides it out, nice post-hiatus version (but not the best, that spot is reserved for a '76 version!)

Absolute monster? It's a fucking monolith!
Caution
Feb. 4, 1969
The Music Box

The ending jam reaches the same hellish chasm they travelled to in the 10/20/1968 version. Outrageously fast, oozing power.

Boston Music Hall

Lovely '76 energy!
