If Picasso's 'Guernica' had a small cut in it it would still be a masterpiece. This TOO has a bad cut in the recording but is still a masterpiece. A+

This is heady but it's now believed to have occurred on 5-11-69 in San Diego.

A highly edited but well-worth-your-time video of this kickass performance is now up on youtube.

Jerry's singing and electrified Keith make this one heady.

Plenty happening on this one to warrant a listen. Nice segue into 'Drums'.

Just like a big B-52 chugging upward, '69/'70 Dead could sure soar in its own heavy way.

Devoid of downtime.

1970s guitar god-type shit. Always the first of the big 'Loser's that comes to mind, although I'm one of those that thinks 'Loser' could be hot in any vintage.

I can't seem to recall a so-called 'Feelin' Groovy' jam/theme/motif in a CCS>IKYR that better serves its purpose than the one here.

Fillmore West

This or Harpur? Might have to go with this for versions with that '69/'70 sound. Then again, might have to take a closer listen.
