- ★★★★★ · a great one · Jim Powell · 2022
This is one of the supreme jewels of this vital and transformative period of the Dead. It is solid throughout. The Smokestack, one of the best, makes a humongous opener, follwed up by another comparative rarity of the period, Morning Dew, on a comparable scale. Sittin On Top of the World is another rare one, and a stellar performance, as is the China Cat > Ride that follows. And then, the concluding 75 minutes is all primal GD, absolutely peak.

For the internet archive to even exist is evidence that some of the ideas from The Whole Earth participants did grow into mind altering options no grandfathers before could share in stereo with grandchildren entering those roaring teenage wastelands aiming at a better day. Thanks to all who made this experience possible.

Great comments but no mention of the 35 minute+ Lovelight! You know Jerry enjoyed the back and forth between good old Rod McKernan and everybody else! Also, a killer Morning Dew and Dark Star, portending in a really cool way what would be one of the best years for the Grateful Dead: 1970!
