    This and 4/28/71 were the first Grateful Dead shows I ever heard and they still have a special place in my collection to this day, over ten years after a Deadhead friend handed me four tapes that were extra copies of shows he already had. When I first heard Truckin', I immediately recognized it from the radio.

    Cut this show some slack, the review below states that the band is off and uninspired? Hard to believe, I always held this recording, and the 7-2-71 Fill West termination of the Other One, as the two highpoints of the era, one I wish was longer. As they find thier way out of alligator, clearly unwilling to play the tail end (recognizing this isnt' 67, they carve new space out enroute to GDTRFB which is unique and highly valued by this head.

    I have been listening to rock music, including the Dead, for nearly 4 decades. I went to many concerts in the 70's and less in subsequent decades. In my opinion 1971 was the peak of rock music as a "genre", with more great music than any other year. Of all the incarnations of the Dead, I liked the "Pigpen era" the best. (my guess from what I have read is so did the band.) I believe this music is Pigpen and the rest of the Dead at their best.
