Dead - Lovelight- Fillmore East - 2/14/1970

?si=eEDc-G4RIDzO5BLu

Peak 1st iteration of the Dead. Pigpen is still the front guy, but not for long.

3 things blow my mind about this song, in this moment

1 The Dead had the best sonic engineers in the family.
2 The band's playing is absolutely in chaos synchronicity....thanks, Bill.
3 Bob Weir makes his vocalization capabilities known.

It's long...suggest skipping till the last 10 minutes to appreciate this band's musical mastery. 5+ years playing together and they totally were in sync with each other.
