...Well that sucks...that went down in record time. <br />The Airplane show is visually in much better quality, the camera was able to move around more. In the Dead clip it stays off on the side of the stage, and it's a lot blurrier, and the added trippy visual effects don't help. The camera focuses a lot on the dancing lady (identified as Mary Ann Mayer).

Then in 72 he passed to the Guild-Alembic called Godfather.
