First of all, I have to say that Satori70 wrote just about exactly the biography of this show and anybody who listens to this show won't argue. Hat's off! I just sent my old buddy on the other coast a late-night text message (listen and you'll do the same thing) that read: "Ok, don't f--- around. 1/16/70 at Springer's Inn at Portland has got probably the best Dire Wolf ever- there's like twenty people in a pub in January in Portland and a fireplace -bobby talks about the "relative sub-dominant"…

This show is the beginning of a monster year for the Dead, and what we have here is a tasty 43 year old recording. Not only do they release Workingman's Dead & American Beauty in '70, but also record Bear's Choice one month later. Oregon has always played host to some organically great shows, and this night is no different. As soon as we get those pesky monitors fixed, this show pulls out of the station on fire. White hot in the furnace!

Though lacking the great Dark Star of the following night, this is probably the better of the two Portland shows, and one of the best of Jan. 70. In particular, The Good Lovin, Dancin, and DDHNM are all well played, but the highight of the set may be the Eleven jam following Alligator>Drums. This version is just flat out awesome, and very unique: Weir is higher than usual in the mix, allowing the rhythm section to stand out a bit more.
