It's a true time capsule that shows how great they already were just a couple years into the game. This is a priceless half hour of Grateful Dead music. New Potato and Alligator do not have this distortion problem, so I kept them. Because if the board had been better, I would have kept it, adding some reverb to soften Jerry’s very up-front vocals. But the sound quality is low with the SBD being a bit oversaturated and distorted. I have to honestly admit that this version is a good one. ![]() ![]() But their needs to be a little control of the vocal and/or recording instruments to get the plane’s wings past Mach 1. I can appreciate everyone lauding over Golden Road. ![]() I NEED that shock wave of controlled quality! All other live versions never could break 770 MPH - shuddering - to then break up and explode into a million pieces. And I just can’t listen to any of the live versions. I feel personally, they only broke that barrier once in the studio for their first album. The song reminds me allot of what jet airplanes go through trying to break the sound barrier. ![]() Golden Road (To Unlimited Devotion) is a two minute, balls-to-the-wall, hypersonic missile of youth and masculine testosterone that always comes close to being an out-of-control mess with every attempt. But it’s really really hard listening to Golden Road live, I love it so much. The last live Golden Road as everyone mentions.
