  • ★★★★★ · Flat-out awesomeness! · pulp79 · 2009

    It's hard to believe that this recording is almost 43 years old, as the sound is just pristine. Overall, I'd have an extremely hard time picking a better show from '66. 11/19/66 comes close, but this one has an edge simply due to the fantastic sound, not to mention it's just plain epic for '66. The Dead were just going for it, giving their all with every performance, and this is a good example of the band just starting to discover their unique, psychic chemistry with one another.

  • ★★★★★ · The real Summer of Love · Folkhippy · 2009

    Anyone who was in the S.F. scene will tell you the real summer of love was in 1966. LSD was still legal earlier in the year and huge quantities were shiped in from European labs and of course, home brewed by Bear. The press, tourists, and street kids hadn't ever heard of Haight/Ashbury. Acid Tests, Merry Pranksters, The Quick, the Grape, The Airplane, Big Brother and...THE DEAD were blowing peoples minds up and down the coast with a new sound. Oh if I only were born in the right year!
