Truckin'
Dec. 5, 1971
Felt Forum - Madison Square Garden

Diesel-burnin' hard charging set opener. "Straight to number 1 in Turlock, California and that's a fact."

Playin' In The Band
Dec. 6, 1971
Felt Forum, Madison Square Garden

Each Playin' since Keith joined seems to take one more step towards going supernova in '72. Here Jerry seems to get it in a whole new way. Excellence.

Powerful version. Show doesn't get the lvoe of the night before, but is every bit as deserving.

Rockin' Pneumonia
Sept. 3, 1972
Folsom Field, University of Colorado

A boogie-woogie unrehearsed mess of a rarity, and I love it.
Jack Straw
Sept. 3, 1972
Folsom Field, University of Colorado

A damn fine Jack Straw in an excellent show from a peak era. What more could y'all be looking for?
The Other One
May 29, 1969
Robertson Gym, U.C.S.B.

No joking matter: This is Danger Dead. Bad PA or not, when you want a punch in the brain, here's your monster.
Cold Rain and Snow
Sept. 3, 1972
Folsom Field, University of Colorado

Between the August Berkeley run, Veneta and this knock-out, I'd say this was a peak run for Cold Rains.
The Other One
Sept. 3, 1972
Folsom Field, University of Colorado

From its silky smooth flow out of He's Gone with its steam-whistle feedback on arrival, this one seeps down from on high, then runs through your bloodstream like a good strong double dose of The Strange. It's long and weird, even though the meltdown sections never go completely bonkers. The re-entry is a musical wonder considering just how far out they were in the moment, and it must have left more than a few jaws dropped to the floor.
