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.

Uptown Theater

One of the best stand alone Franklins (out of amazing Estimated) and it goes into a rocking, flowing, gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous jam. On the tail end of Dave's 31 extras, this whole show is excellent, as I recall...

So crazy. My buddy says he was there. Climbed a pole behind Jerry. Might have taken some of his clothes off. IDK. Says the highlight was Kesey on kazoo. Says it was a pretty hot show overall.

The whole shebang is amazing ridiculousness. One of their greatest moments.

Truly insane Deadness. And Gratefulness. Some of the greatest jamming ever. How ridiculous it must have been. Never fails.

Another that could be my all time favorite. Many years ago, I had no doubt.
