- ★★★★★ · A prime example of early Dead · amellowsoul · 2004
This fine artifact shows the early dance show of the Dead. It has excellent sound quality for the era. I have wondered why this took over 30 years to see the light of day. Anyways, Thanks David Gans! (as it first appeared on a few GDH hours) The set list is mighty fine, offering a big array of common songs (for the time) along with a few rarities, and DEEP RARITIES.

- ★★★★★ · good lovin! · rollandfin · 2009
very cool good lovin, if this is the only time played in 66 you might think it's kinda of random, something that just came up, after all they are musicians and probably knew how to play a few cords, but, it sounds vocally very scripted so it's hard to believe this wasn't planned or practiced. Still they put this away until may of 69! and by then it would grow into a key pigpen song thru europe 72, and once sung by jerry on may 7th 1969.
- ★★★★★ · My first review.. · creampuffedhead · 2009
I've been listening to the Dead on archive.org for about a year straight....Oddly enough I stumbled upon this after a trip to San Francisco and didn't understand what all the buzz was...Needless to say, WOW. I've been hooked for about a year. Anyhow, this show is ridiculous. I'm still grooming my ear to notice the things all you more experienced heads can pick up...but this is it for me. Great mindbender, insane minglewood, cream puff is really solid. Good lovin - WOW.
