Sweet, powerful latter-day version on a hot afternoon on the soccer field at Cal State.

Why isn't this rager on here yet?! Maybe not as long as some, but full of that early Dead energy that we love so much!

Turn On Your Love Light

Seminole Indian Village

This might seriously be the one, you guys. 29 minute opener to go with the 30 minute Lovelight they closed with the night before! Pig is in top form, and the boys are right with him. Plus that unexplainable 1969 energy and SOUND...Complete Road Trips indeed! This should be ranked "jus' a lil' bit HIGHER!!!"

Wow! That was...muscular. Phil and Jer doin' some FLEXIN'!!! The Roger Eichorn matrix on the archive is the tits.

This one closes out the weekend @ Fillmore West with the Miles Davis Quintet opening. What I wouldn't give to have been there. Fully jammed out version.
