There's a reason this is on the 'Spring 1990 So Glad You Made It' compilation release.

Not exploratory but incredibly well-played. This whole show should be officially released.

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.

Alpine Valley Music Theatre

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.
The Other One

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.
