I was going TDIH for this date so I listened to 1968, 1969 and this 1970. For me by 70 the Dead have mastered how to perform a well rounded set. Their ability to mix in just the right amount of mellowness within their all out jam tunes will be the formula they will bank all the way to 1995. The sweetness of the material from American Beauty and Working Man's also was just begging for some acoustic Dead. Which they do pretty regularly in 1970.

Call me old school (call me Old & In The Way), but I've always believed in Dark Star/St Stephen/Eleven/Lovelight. And I can't remember ever enjoying a Dark Star as much as this one. Sadness - Lovelight just cut off prematurely. So I start again at Dark Star. I believe Jerry's playing his SG. But what about TC? Was he gone by now?

Why isn't this in everybody's top 10 dark stars. This is absolutely great. Maybe they were jonesin because they didn't play dark star the night before. In fact, they hadn't played dark star since January 4. Anyway, this is a top ten dark star to date.
