  • ★★★★★ · 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.
