Holy cow. Wow. Scorches. So does the Candyman. And this is followed by a beautiful Masterpiece.

First one after Brent's death. First one with Bruce being officially part of the gang. Pretty significant. Felt like we'd probably survive...

Fiery, galloping build up. Maybe this was overshadowed by the 9/19 version, but this one rips.

Viola Lee Blues
May 2, 1970
Harpur College

What a way to end a masterpiece of a night. Slips into a short, sweet space/feedback and they Bid us Goodnight. One of the greatest shows of all time. Pure, primordial acid rock. After 50 years it still ain't grown old....
Morning Dew

Harpur College

Cllmbs and rips, as all great Dews do, while leaving room for a pin to drop.....
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 5, 1977
New Haven Coliseum

Aye. Right up there with Alabama (5/17/77), Iowa (2/5/78), Horton Field House (4/24/78), the Fox, the Mosque,.......
I Know You Rider

Harpur College

Yep. If we ever have to sleep in a hollow log and can only listen one show, this might be it.... The Other One-Cryptical... the Good Lovin'.... The Viola Lee....... the whole thing is so ridiculous!!! Happy 50th.
Cosmic Charlie
May 2, 1970
Harpur College

Insane as Cosmic Charlie crawls out of the rip-roaring primal raging beauty of the wildest Cryptical Coda, one of the finest masterpieces in GD history.... It's number one, but still can't believe the Cryptical doesn't have more votes.
