Avalon Ballroom

It's a bit uneven vocally, musically it's slow and sultry.

Student Center

A ripping opener, Pigpen is all in, wonderful show, good quality tape but some unfortunate cuts.

You know the drill by now; DS > SS > 11 > LL; gotta catch 'em all

So, not only is this a wonderful Dew, the Jerry banter after this and before beginning a transcendent Cryptical Suite is a hoot as well.

Came to check and see how high this was; glad to see where it deserves at the top. Epic.

Winterland Arena

Unreal; more people need to be digging back to 69, 68, 67... this should be WAY higher. Come for the Viola Lee Blues, stay for the Dancin'.
Easy Wind

Fillmore West

One of those songs just not on my radar but coming backup through some primal dead research... damn! Pig at his bluesiest (vocal and harmonica) and solid jamming by the whole gang. This one is it for me, so far. Looking forward to some of the ones after this date others love.
The Other One

The Music Box

Unreal; must listen. Preferably very loud with headphones. Simply off the rails out of the gate.
Dancin' in the Streets

Harpur College

Blows Cornell and all '77s out of the water. The more I listen to pre '72 Dead the more I appreciate. Entirely different level.
