Blazing hot. Don't be put off by the AUD quality. Strap on the headphones and go. Brilliant.

This EP is 'just exactly perfect'. Jerry's curlicue soloing over tight ensemble playing in a dramatic rising arc.

Bobby puts on the snarling spiteful chaw and the band is lightning tight. The banter after is fun too.

Dark Star
March 1, 1969
Fillmore West
Everything you want in a Dark Star. Crystal clear, beautiful recording, lucid idea after lucid idea, a bit of chaos, a bit of light, a touch of the manic, introspective whispering, unity with the universal, a secret, sacred wave... I could go on, but just give it a listen.
Mountains of the Moon
March 1, 1969
Fillmore West
Gosh it's a beauty. And I can't believe I hadn't rated this one before. There just aren't that many recordings of this beautiful song, and it makes for such a special treat when it pops up. Jerry's vox is perfect in this clean recording and Tom C. noodling behind him is the perfect compliment.
Cosmic Charlie

High-paced, bubbling, and full of giggles, just like that Charlie they're poking a little fun at... until they fry him on an electric fence with some high-voltage shredding.
The Other One

This is the Danger Dead and it doesn't ask politely. It's hold on tight and hang on man, because this one left some casualties behind. Phil pushes everyone ever upwards and Jerry has that buzz-saw tone, leaving smoking craters behind him with every note. It's lightning fast, jaw-grinding, white-knuckle territory. The ensemble mind at this level of energy is just incredible. And agreed. MORE primal '69 Dead here please!

Feels like a feather bed, its so gentle, comfy, and warm. And coming out of soul-blistering TOO, this probably felt like a soft landing for everyone. This version shows off just how peak '70 is for vocals, along with the whole show ranging across country, blooze, gospel, hard rock, and strong acid shivers.
