Hurts Me Too
Dec. 27, 1970
Legion Stadium

Pig's vox never sounded better. Pure, fine Blue Ron soul and a rippin' set of solos, but sadly cuts out.

Good Lovin'

Legion Stadium

All about the jam. One of the mello raps of the era, and they go off in that way that says "let's do this forever". Why not here?

Friend of the Devil

Legion Stadium

Sweetness in form and execution. Even the feedback from the monitors harmonises nicely. A gentle, delicate version.

King Bee

Winterland Arena

Deep blues, two brilliant harp solos, great Jerry work (duh), and a Charlie Miller cleanup. Listen up!

Deep Elem Blues

Winterland Arena

Starts a little funny, but has that rare electric funk quality. On the recent C. Miller cleanup, so thank you sir.

Playin' In The Band
Sept. 24, 1972
Palace Theatre

Uptempo, but with some wicked jams that get a bit dark in places. Still, it's a blazing hot Playin' that should get more love than it has here. The Jerry Moore AUD on the archive covers the unpatched gap on the more popular soundboard version.
Bird Song
Sept. 24, 1972
Palace Theatre

This one has a muscular, intense energy to it. Comparing this show to the one the night before is no contest. They were on all night here.
Cumberland Blues
Sept. 24, 1972
Palace Theatre

The best Cumberlands have that feeling of being slightly out of control, like a coal car speeding down tracks laid deep in the mine, losing breaks, blowing switches and shooting sparks. This one's got it in aces.
Black Throated Wind
Sept. 24, 1972
Palace Theatre

Tremendous emotional arc from cool strut at the beginning rising rising into a walk-through-walls powerful climax. '72 was indeed a killer year for this chronically under-estimated monster.
Wharf Rat
Sept. 23, 1972
Palace Theater

A stunner. Beautiful, emotive playing that prefigures the absolute apogee of WR (June '74) by almost two years. Probably to best song of the show, too.
