The new tunes continue to roll out in the electric set with the introduction of Mason’s Children. Then the boys bring out Black Peter, which they had played eight times since its debut two weeks prior. Finally turning to a more familiar tune, they go into a short, but so bluesy, Hard To Handle. From there the boys head into Cumberland, which they absolutely smoke, even though it, too, was a little babe of a tune, having been first played back in November. And with that, they end the “new” section of the show, heading into more tried and true territory the rest of the way out. Between the acoustic opening and the debut songs, this show can be viewed, in many ways, as the beginning of the 1970 Dead, as they reworked their psychedelic sound into something just a little more palpable to mainstream audiences, which would bear fruit with the release of Workingman’s Dead and American Beauty. But the remainder of the set also makes clear the Dead were not about to abandon their characteristic bluesy, acid-laced magic. In the rest of the going, they rip through a sensational Good Lovin’ and deliver a positively transcendent Other One Suite before closing out with an epic thirty-plus-minute Lovelight.
