Jerry's voice was still weak from laryngitis, but his guitar made up for it, ripping and roaring!

Friday the 13th, super brief, but it's there between Dancin' and Wharf Rat, both great versions!

Madison Square Garden

There was nothing like a Terrapin in the Garden! Into drums-quick-weird-almost-Close Encounters-Spanish Jam-rip-roaring Truckin' in the Garden....

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
May 2, 1970
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

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.
