A monster show, always underrated due to poor circulation. I swear the boys are all on mushrooms, and its a best friends birthday.

Fillmore East

Jerry just feeds off of Duane's blues energy and it's great how they call and answer trading licks and obviously having fun. Definately one of my favorite versions, pigpen is super. the recording has such an amazing sound quality as well. RIP Duane and Jerry, Pigpen and Keith. some of my fav 10 minutes ever recorded.

Couldn't agree more with alwaysgrateful. This show is so underrated, and this peggy-o stands out. sheer beauty. have to take this chance to point out the around and around from this show as well. and alhambra after terrapin. IMHO this should be top 5 at least.

Great call. This has always been my personal favorite since the very first time i heard it. So smooth and laid back groovy as groovy can be. gets my vote.
