Not Fade Away

Taft Auditorium

Great interplay and hot jam in every combination in the birth month of the great quintet. Forgotten show.

Ramble On Rose

Taft Auditorium

Not my favorite song, but this one rocks. Plus Jerry eviscerates a heckler after.

Goddamned hard crunching rocker here. Jerry's guitar is so sharp it sounds like breaking glass (in a good way).

Playin' In The Band

They really push down on the 10/4 melodic form here, giving it a "The Main Ten" feel lost soon after. KG's 1st month is full of transition Playin's.

Allen Theatre

Masterpiece. The Jam out of drums into the first verse is inventive and exploratory, very subtle interplay. Totally overlooked. Dig it.

Rockin' Pneumonia

A boogie-woogie unrehearsed mess of a rarity, and I love it.
Jack Straw

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?

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

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

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.
