Casey Jones sets the stage before Pig comes on the scene, driving a raunchy Hard To Handle replete with bad-ass Jerry runs. The Dead then switch gears to a staunch Black Peter. And after Bobby cleans up some technical problems, he fronts a sweet little Mama Tried. From there, the Dead turn to a sweet China Cat Sunflower as the band lights off on heady flights of fancy. And there is an interesting little premature advance into I Know You Rider before Jerry comes back around for another verse and another blistering jam. After the actual transition, Rider rambles off, gathering verve and momentum as it goes. High Time then eases things down, chock full of all the deliberation and pathos that makes the tune so good. The Good Lovin’ that comes out next is relatively short, but it has several driving sections and, of course, features Pig’s incredible presence. A crackerjack of a Cumberland follows before a rather pedestrian beginning to Saint Stephen. But later in the tune, the band launches into a quick, stratospheric jam that is worth the price of admission before coming back for the final Stephen verse. And the energy of that little jam carries right over into Lovelight. There, the band is on fire, led by Pig’s incredible vocal power and imagination and Jerry’s incommensurable brilliance with the guitar. This is a seething beast of a Lovelight, with interludes of serious Pig testimony. Unfortunately, as Jerry says, “they pulled the plug on us,” and we can only dream of how long the Lovelight would have went on had the Dead been the only band on the bill.
