Standard issue, so it's pretty darn good.

Great sandwich of a great set. Bill Graham is Father Time, sounds a lot like Bernie Sanders!

Dancin' in the Streets
Nov. 8, 1970
Capitol Theater

Builds from Dark Star- Main Ten into a POWERHOUSE. A bit like one of the best ever, 5/2/70 (which maybe IS the best ever...). Great!
New Orleans

Totally agree. This right here, New Orleans into Searchin', plus the Mystery Train-My Babe, the Me and My Uncle, probably the first Around and Around, all of it really is the total definition of Garage Band Rock and Roll. Raw, rollicking and nuts! So awesome! And Jerry brings it all back down to Earth with a gorgeous Baby Blue, and the rest of the set is pure primal Dead. And yeah, the Lee recordings are very nice indeed!

Any Dark Star with a Main Ten is a 5 star Dark Star. The surge into Dancin' is ridiculous. This entire show is classic and amazing. The first half of the electric set, as Carrion Crow says in another post, is pure Garage Band Rock at it's rawest and absolute best.
