This release of these tracks is a treasure full of wonderment. Love to hear these tracks in their early stages of development, particularly St Stephen. In track 3, the first iteration of Lovelight, you can hear Pigpen start the vocals off key (or in the wrong inversion of the root to be more precise) and not corresponding to the riff the boys are playing. It's almost as if he's dosed. I know he wasn't a fan of that but I think there were occasions of when it happened without him knowing until it was too late. So Bobby steps in and offers the first verse. Old Piggers then lets it rip from then on. Just a thought about why that happened. The sound of this offering is amazing and there's much here for the Dead-tuned ear to hear. Enjoy it and play it loud!

Really GRATEFUL
Hope someone does a documentary on
the wonders of sound upgrades
interesting to listen to the different takes
on tunes done twice in the same night.
(Bobby does the intro lyrics for Lovelight
in the first set)
This all reminds me of putting way too much candy
under my tongue one fateful night at the cap centre..
Things may change
Only the strange remain
but Thank God ALMIGHTY
