Rippin' peaks...timeless formless jamming while also being totally focused. Good for listening with the lights out

I have come around on the notion that the El Paso is a nice weird turn, or as one post said, a nice Prankster moment. And, yeah, maybe the world would've ended if they had gone into Dew, so that's a good thing. By extension, one might say, the Pranksters saved the world.

And who could argue with the guy? "anything" they played in that glorious year was worth a listen

Fillmore East (Late Show)

That's fantastic. Seriously, are there any contemporaries that can come even close to the Dead when it comes to drawing emotions out of listeners? I highly doubt it. Nothin like 'em.

I'd say go there indirectly, and experience this greatest of all jam sets in its entirety.
