Peppy, quick and Brent organ solo that is fire. I like this one!

Love these '70 & earlier Minglewoods. I love the way Bobby screams the lyrics. They sound like a punk/grunge garage band. Later versions too tame

Greek Theater

Super high energy version, complete with Jerry screams and Phil is all over this one. Surprised this one's not on here yet.

Passenger

I don't usually react to strongly to Passenger one way or the other, but this one jams. Cool solo on slide guitar and Phil just murders the bass throughout. Strong version from an underrated show.

Surprisingly good from a show that doesn't get enough credit. Solid show from top to bottom.

Not on most popular archive recording from this day. 2 shows from this day, early and late. This MInglewood is here: https://archive.org/details/gd1970-06-24.124175.cooper.berger.flac16/gd1970-06-24d1t08.flac
He's Gone

RFK Stadium

Great version! Especially the way it comes so sweetly out of the dissonant ending of this (also great) Dark Star. This is so, so, good. The band was pushing this day, with Allman Bros looking on and ready to join. Listen to the one!

May not be Pigpen, but damn this version is nice. Pumped vocals by Bobby & inspired playing by Jerry. Worth a listen. Underrated, in my opinion.
