Pig gets further warmed up on Good Lovin’, which starts out with just the drummers before Phil and the rest of the band come storming in and put the show back in overdrive. After a Cold Rain and Snow, the boys bring out a surreal Dark Star with Jerry searching off in distant corners of the universe, the drummers pounding out a nice elemental rhythm, and Phil dropping some earth-shattering bombs. Towards the end, Dark Star settles down, allowing a darkness to descend, but the first riffs of Stephen bring a brilliant light, heralding a no-holds-barred version that romps. The driving Not Fade Away that follows also takes no prisoners, pushing aside everything in its path, making way for the epic thirty-three minute Lovelight that ends the show. Pig is ferocious on the Lovelight, bawling out the lyrics, schooling the crowd, and fronting the raging beast of a band as they tear up the tune.

The Dead were on fire during their first overseas show, bringing an insane amount of energy to the music. Their set was part of a two-day festival, called the Hollywood Music Festival. A bunch of other bands played as well, mainly European acts, including Mungo Jerry and Black Sabbath. The Dead were far from the headliners of the festival, but many people were interested in seeing the American band that they had been hearing about. One person who got on the bus during the set was Dick Lawson, of Frendz Magazine. He was particularly enamored with the Dark Star – and why wouldn’t he be – writing about the experience,

During Dark Star, we lost reality and soared. Above the canopy over the stage, at an exact ninety degrees to the scaffolding and at a height of 30 thousand feet, a sliver dart crossed the sky, blazing a double vapour trail. It split the air in two, cracked the sphere. The brilliant blue crumbled. Nothing. Empty, void, It was as if Captain Trips had been waiting for that moment, expecting it to happen. He picked up the pieces and carefully reassembled them the way he wanted, each note a truer, whiter, blacker high. They moved into the thunderous crashing, bouncing earthquake of St Stephen and softly into Turn on Your  Lovelight. Pigpen moved around to the front, adding his demonic presence to Garcia’s white hot guitar. We were then starting to be with them, carried up, out of our bodies, clapping in time for five minutes or an hour with hand’s that were no longer ours.

Film of the Good Lovin’ and Casey Jones from this set resides in the Vault, as well as a few hours of other film from the Dead’s 1970 trip to Europe. The BBC was supposed to record and broadcast the Dead’s set, however, Bear dosed them and the footage that remains is supposedly erratic and unfocused.
