As for 4-29-71, I have listened to this show recently and honestly forgot how great a night Bobby had. He gives it his all and all his rockers rock (Minglewood!!), and the electric Dark Hollow is fantastic. I think the band wanted to send their east coast home off with a memorable one and succeeded.

I know, I know--it's better "played" whatever that means, but the cre--SEND-O reached in 8-6 is forever, in my mind, the best...damn. I am a member (?) of a smaller and smaller group, methinks.

It is a great song and I do really like the electric versions from '71. I think that one from '70 is okay and at least people can listen to it here.

2/14/70 is a fantastic show, I score it at 99-100 points.
Its very difficult choosing only ten shows from each year, but those are MY top shows from '70. There are shows in quite a few years that I score higher than some of my top ten selections.
Its very easy to point out individual shows that you feel are top tens. But its a subjective list. Why dont you provide your top ten from 1970 and then I can point out your glaring omissions? Which show(s) from '70 would you replace? 1970 is an extremely difficult vintage to select ten from, there are so many treasures!
Its so hard and thats why its fun!

But so is 5/15/70...and I score 1/3/70 at 98-99 points, and 5/1/70 at 99 pts...all of these are worthy of anyones top ten!
Its so hard...but so easy to point to one show. Of course its entirely subjective! I give the edge to the performance on the 13th. Perhaps 3/21/70 is not as fine a performance, but its just as amazing in its own way!
Its so hard to pick just ten! Where are your top tens?

1/03? Even though I was there for those, they seem solid, but not spectcular. Not like 5-2 or 2-08 or 9-19/20, or perhaps 12/28/

The Pirates World show is a personal favorite, and though it has made it onto my top ten in the past, I score out the Charlie Miller file at 98+.
The percussion driven jamming of The Other One on 4/15 is certainly an extraordinary passage and the show a 98 pointer.
Another of my favorites has to be 4/12 which I also score at 98 pts.
I'm not surprised that you have 6/7 in your top ten, I consider the acoustic set to be among the very best, but I'm not as impressed with the electric set, other then the Main Ten jam, but I still score this one at 98-99.
Then there's 2/28 (another favorite), 5/1, 8/5, 11/16, 12/12...

98-100 pts
An extraordinary show of profound and complex character displaying all the attributes expected of a classic show. These are "the best of the best". Profound musicianship and jamming, a thrilling setlist, and perfect or near perfect sound quality. Shows of this caliber are worth a special effort to find, download, own, and consume!
96-98 pts
An outstanding show of exceptional complexity and character. Absolutely must own shows. The playing/jamming is performed at an extremely high-level. The sound quality is excellent by the standards of the period, however minor sonic anomalies (hiss) or cuts may be present. In short, these are phenomenal shows!
94-96 pts
An excellent show. High-level playing/jamming, but perhaps with some lapses or inconsistencies. Shows may contain some sonic anomalies, however they are still easily enjoyable. These are shows that you absolutely must hear, and most aficionados will still wish to collect.
92-94 pts
Well above average shows, definitely worth the listen and likely a download as well. There may be some moments of brilliance, but perhaps marred by significant sonic issues or lapses/inconsistencies in playing.
90-92 pts
Barely above average to very good for the period displaying various degrees of finesse and flavor as well as character. The set-lists and playing may not be entirely inspiring, sonic annoyances may detract somewhat from the listening experience, but these shows still provide enjoyment!
89-90 pts
An average show with little distinction except that it is competently played. In essence, a straightforward, innocuous show.

Thats my biggest complaint with show reviews at LMA. Everyone thinks that the shows that they attended were fantastic and rate them highly because they were there and had a good time, even though plenty of them were real stinkers.
Youre lucky, in your case its completely different. Many of those shows you attended would still be 100 pointers, even if you werent there ;)
Unfortunately I have only attended stinkers, with the exception of a couple half-decent performances between '79 and '81...

Great tune, the Grateful Dead honestly did a better job with it than Johnny Horton! Love Billy's rim-shot rifle fire. Shame it didnt make it to 1970!
