Comes A Time
Dec. 5, 1971
Felt Forum - Madison Square Garden

Luscious, poignant, repressed frantic bawlings, flirts with transcendence of later versions.

Speedy, crowd goes nuts, band is showing them the ways encouragingly, but firmly, with muscle

slick as snot, full of Sagitarrian drop of a dime fun and spontaneity guided by flaming arrows. Keeping it cowboy every time but yeah octopus vision. Festering selves piling up in the mailbox. Glorious power in this blown out on-the-spot approach.

amazing chall!!! long drums melt (think steel pan and clangy ding dongies) No stone unturned, awesome stuff here encyclopedically rich. Stole my face. Cherries on top with west L.A. jam and a patient razor sharp gdtrfb

reunited with this dreamy cold war thawer... holy shit... takes LIG, still so many good versions of this, to newer heights still. 3.0 meets "a love supreme"? but then my the scrumptious chilly cliffs that the drummers provide channeljng the great rhythm sections of soul and funk. and jerry's recurring flutterbird tremolo "Demeter visitation" wolf tone which sets this one into, again to use one of my fav tropes of hot dead, symphonic timings
