Took a train ride up the Hudson the other day and brought my iPod with me. Never get a chance lately to dig in and listen to stuff with headphones anymore. Maybe it was the schwag but all I know is the Morning Dew from 8/6/71 on DP 35 is explosive. The recording first of all is amazing. It's so full sounding for just the 5 of them. Pig plays some of his most tasteful organ playing.
But there is a snippet at around 2:35 where they do that cool Baroque sounding turn-around as Jerry sets up for the verse. It's probably the most expressive thing I've ever heard. Phil does this monster descending bass line to land back on the D and Jerry lays off for a bar and comes in with this subtle trilly thing before he sings.....like a hammer on-pull off. Almost like he had to get his head together after hearing Phil's line.
You gotta check it out.
