Just one review so far?!?!?! Wow! This show is smokin! Perfect mix of cosmic Dead and country Dead.

Craziness abound with a solid set of jams, check it out kids!

Caution-Classic Pigpen & splat jam afterward.
UJB-5/331 times played, rather mellow

Soon to be formally released as Dave's Picks Vol. 10.
-Blind Man (04/08/2014)


Wow. That's a lot of Pigpen for one show. 8 songs. Great T.C. show as well. interesting to hear him playing on the songs that eventually would end up on Workingman's Dead.

So yeah I got the official release. I'm not the biggest Pigpen aficionado generally speaking. At this show his songs are the best. His harmonica playing is really enjoyable. The Easy Wind jam is spectacular, maybe the single-best pound-for-pound piece of music in the show. Next Time You See Me is really cool, Pig and Jerry duet-style. I'm also not the biggest live High Time fan, this one is really good. The Dire Wolf is great, TC really adds some interesting flavor to this and it's sort of an electric/acoustic blend version, haven't really heard anything like it before. King Bee is great. I love the Uncle John's Band, it's brand new so there are "mistakes" so to speak but the sound of it in unpolished form and the accompanying jam is just cool. I can't get into this Black Peter, it's new also but doesn't benefit the way UJB does. But it's still Black Peter, just sloppy and doesn't hit the emotional peaks it would in 1970 and beyond. Then obviously the Alligator-Caution-Feedback is essential listening. So it's a great show and a magical moment in the band's development.

Listening to Dave's Picks 10 version ... between Rider and Lovelight ...

Very interesting that Pig comments that they need one of the lights turned down, because it was "bilious" and will make everyone look like they have "artificial hepatitis".

That's a pretty freaky thing for a 24 year old hippie musician to say ... unless he'd already been to see a doctor due to liver problems.

Thelma’s was a little club on Sunset Blvd. it turned into a restaurant later. It must have been embarrassing to play someplace so small after Woodstock. The ‘stage’ was a foot tall and barely big enough for everybody to fit on it. There was an early show and a late show, not two sets of one show.
