I have never found (but keep searching) for April, 1968 recordings from the brief East Coast tour and in particular their performance at Thee Image on Miami Beach. It was an incredible show and this May session reminds me a lot of it. My favorites are definitely the Spring 1968 shows when they peaked with this set list before Dark Star, St Stephen etc reset the performance list. I keep telling myself that maybe the 1968 Mystery Tapes are mislabled and are actually the spring East Coast tour because they certainly sound like what I hear in Miami. Whether they are or not, this performance and the Mystery Tapes get me close enough to reliving the Miami shows. The quality of the recording is irrelevant. The essence is there.

This is not the best you'll hear out of 68 but it's a high voltage performance that's well worth hearing. Jerry is on fire and jams on a 'First There is a Mountain' theme (aka Mountain Jam) during the post-drums Alligator.
The recording's a bit ragged at points but it adds to the charm.

This is another wild, hairy, high energy performance of early 1968, like so many others here at Archive.org. Jerry is pure electricity on the Alligator after Drums. If you like the Anthem-of-the-Sun-era shows, you’ll find this to be a hot one.
The set ends in dynamite feedback, gradually subsiding to a single tap of the cymbal. Masterful.
There are better-quality recordings from 1968. Here, Pigpen’s vocal is low, but this recording is better than another version here at Archive.org.

The band is on! The recording is resonable for 1968 although it's a shame you can't hear Pig's vocals very well. As for the backstage interview-well-FU2 (Ha Ha).
