Great for Toddler-Heads at under 5 minutes, with quirky urgency, one of the shortest ever…

Blue Dead or Grateful Blues… either way, Jerry and Pigpen were master blues men.

Yep, so awesome. Still blows my mind that this and the Good Lovin' don't have even more votes. And the Cryptical. Sure Cryptical is really a continuation of the Other One, which has a ton of votes, but the Cryptical Coda from this show is one of the most amazing pieces of music ever in the history of this planet. Which is quite a bit of history. Covers a lot of music. And don't get me started on the Ridiculous Dancin' in the Ridiculous Streets!!!! Man. Listening to those versions of those tunes right there...... Never, ever grows old..... Good Lovin out of drums.... Mother of Pearl Onions.....

Needs a million and 8 more votes, as does the 5/2/70 Harpur Good Lovin'!!!!! (Which is still the one to beat. But man, this is close.) Once again, out of drums, the band rips the place to shreds. Ends an insanely great show. Imagine what it must have been like in the awesome Cap in Port Chester.

Builds from Dark Star- Main Ten into a POWERHOUSE. A bit like one of the best ever, 5/2/70 (which maybe IS the best ever...). Great!

Totally agree. This right here, New Orleans into Searchin', plus the Mystery Train-My Babe, the Me and My Uncle, probably the first Around and Around, all of it really is the total definition of Garage Band Rock and Roll. Raw, rollicking and nuts! So awesome! And Jerry brings it all back down to Earth with a gorgeous Baby Blue, and the rest of the set is pure primal Dead. And yeah, the Lee recordings are very nice indeed!
