The Dead were busted down on Bourbon Street later this evening. The opening of the now fabled Warehouse in New Orleans. What a night it must've been! Before it all got heavy with the pigs later & the sound was voodooed the next night delivering a spontaneous acoustic set, but that's another story. Back story aside, this is definitely one of the more underrated and hidden gems from 1970 on the archives & stands up to some of the best in the era.

Enjoyable show that starts out with more organized chaos with Casey Jones, Me & My Uncle. But finds a very mellow groove alternating between Pigpen and Jerry ballads with classic standards in play to boot. Sound very good to my ear. These guys had great voices and Donna called them great ensemble singers. How fast can you dance to Cumberland? Amazing such a mellow tune can have such moxy. Handing out 5 stars like candy again but what the heck.
- ★★★★★ · way better than 3.5 stars! · lemon lime partridge · 2007
nice black peter, perfect high time & a righteous easy wind...sound is also great. i feel like this show is getting a bad rap...i'll give it five stars just on the high time.
