Subject: Post-England run

Probably not the best of the run overall but with notable highlights. Even though it was the Saturday show it was in the early afternoon.



First Set. A fragment exists. Jer mentions Robert Service before Frozen Logger but it's believed to be penned by James Stevens. Service wrote a similar poem, "The Logger"*, which is a wild epic. Friend of the Devil is still before it was recorded but by this time it had been finalized into that version. Candyman is also as good as acoustic Dead got and ready for the studio version. As warmed up as they are by this point, it's too bad the rest is missing.



Second Set. Morning Dew is decent but the rest is typical '70 until Jer and Pig duet-it-up on Next Time. New Orleans (2nd ever), an NRPS song, sneaks into Good Lovin'. It was US Bonds' first hit (is that where they learned it?). Bobby seems to jump in as if it were planned though they hadn't played it since the year before. Apparently only four were played - 3 in '70. Attics is a near-perfect version. They were trying hard to get it worked out, playing it 3 nights in a row. Dire Wolf is also nailed. The jam out of Alligator never resolves back instead trying to get to Other One - eventually becoming a Darling Corey Jam (the Bill Monroe song from their coffee house days - Darkness has a different 2nd chord). The Love Light jam has some great themes and the rest is typical for the month except for Uncle John's which, if not a train wreck, is a derailment. It's a big two hour set - Alligator through Lovelight's reprise is a jam over one hour in length



1st Set : B-

2nd Set : C

Overall = 3 Stars



Highlights:

Friend of the Devil - as good as 5/15/70

Candyman - more or less classic version

Attics of My Life - only one that matches 6/24

Dire Wolf - so good



SOURCES: The miller is best but the balance fluctuations of the ashley sbd have not all been fixed (not to complain - beggars and all). The bear source has better clarity but also more noise. Attics is a bonus track on American Beauty.



*And sometimes I take a dive just to keep my heart alive,

among the gay saloons and dancing halls,

in the distant, dinful town.

Just a little drink to drown

the cares that crowd and canker in my brain. - May 7, 2016Post-England run

Subject: 1970 I'm now willing to listen to any and all arguments that 1970 was their best year!



How about Ron and Jerry trading solos in Next Time You See Me? 'You go,' 'Now you,' 'Join in.' Of course I'm paraphrasing. It was probably, "Go on now," that Pigpen usually said in between his singing or harmonica and a Jerry (or Bob) guitar solo. And Jerry said something like, "Come on in," when he invites Ron to play his harmonica alongside his guitar. And it sounds like possibly, "Go rock around," that Pig says as they continue their shared solo for one more verse.



Charlie Miller: couldn't tracks 14, 15, 16 and 17 just be one track called Alligator into Lovelight? You know what I'm getting at - continuity, not disrupting the buzz.



You are the paragon of the archivists. If you take a step in this direction, I'm sure the rest will follow. Maybe you could upload two versions - one with separate tracks, and the other with China Cat/Rider in one track, etc.



I know that would at least double your work. But I also know that it is a labor of love. - July 10, 20121970

Subject: Super Stuff Great sound quality really highlights the interplay between Jerry and Bob after the Alligator drums as they run through a Darkness Jam, a Goodnight Jam, and some really interesting melodic type stuff in the jam portion of Lovelight.



From Alligator until the end of the set this show cooks! The UJB closer is plagued with Jerry's guitar dropping out of the mix in the opening and Billy's insistence on playing "off" the beat.



I wonder how many Darkness Jams we are missing from the summer and fall of 1970, because there are a few of them in the late spring and the winter.



It's great to hear all of the "melodic" jams as they build to the "Beautiful Jam" in February of the next year... - October 2, 2011Super Stuff

Subject: Best Attics I've heard This is a really great 1970 show, I think. They kinda fuck up UJB for the encore, but everything else is pure gold. This is the best live version of Attics I've heard yet. If anyone knows of another version where the vocals are as good as they are on this one (or better, if that's even possible), please let me know! - June 27, 2010Best Attics I've heard

Subject: Feelin' It Really, really, really enjoyed this show. It's hard to describe just how happy I am to hear this and CHEERS! to the one's that make it possible. The Grateful Dead in June 1970, double sixes no less. What a groove on the Dancing Jam and where would we be without Pigpen. Jerry's guitar on the Alligator Jam is just pure Dead. Hard not to be dumbfounded after listening to this one. I know it's just a drop in the bucket, but it's a mighty big drop! - May 14, 2010Feelin' It

Performing before the hometown crowd the DEAD kick it in gear and prove they have what it takes to rule the underground.

Subject: Sweet One of the few, summer 1970 sbds we have. In fact, one of only four between late May and mid September. The Attics is very sweet; but the real meat of this show is in the jam after Alligator and everything that follows. At about 8 miutes into the post drums jam, jerry starts rifting on the GDTRFB ending jam, or the We Bid You Goodnight theme; whatever you want to call it...it just keeps getting better from there. A nice sounding SBD as far as 70' is concerned, although not quite as crisp as say 5/15 or 9/19. Would rate this a five, but that's reserved for the 2/13's and 5/2's, etc.... - February 27, 2009Sweet

Subject: One of The Best From 1970 Feast your ears on one of the best shows of 1970 in fantastic sound quality! The whole show is amazing but I would be remiss to not mention the amazing jam that springs out of Alligator. Home of yet another Pigpen outrage that jams its way through a Darkness Darkness jam, and a fantastic Lovelight>Not Fade Away>Lovelight segue. Crank this one up and enjoy one of the best 1970 had to offer. - June 4, 2008One of The Best From 1970
