Not Fade Away
July 17, 1976
Orpheum Theatre

Smoldering hot and long jam capping a great 2nd set. The kind of jam you want to go on forever.

Beat it on Down The Line
Oct. 21, 1971
Auditorium Theatre

Listen in and hear exactly where Jerry's fingers achieve terminal velocity. Keith's first shows have manic wild energy, lots of fun.

The Other One

Northrop Auditorium, U. of Minn.

Hard charging power here in 24 minutes of explosive dark matter. It's a massive oversight that this show hasn't been more widely appreciated.

Brokedown Palace

Northrop Auditorium, U. of Minn.

Stunning. Beautiful harmonies, strong pulse, Keith roars in like they know in advance what he brings. Show needs more love.

Playin' In The Band

Northrop Auditorium, U. of Minn.

Massive transitional masterpiece. 1st with Keith, and he's the missing ingredient that tips PiTB over the edge into its full glory. Great mix.

Uncle John's Band
Aug. 24, 1972
Berkeley Community Theatre

The energy and drive on this is unparalleled. The outro(s) are just phenomenal, and all after hours of high-velocity, outer-spheres-crazy creative jamming: The finest band in the land indeed.
Ramble On Rose
Aug. 24, 1972
Berkeley Community Theatre

Convincing, up-tempo pulse to it. Never lags, as some RoRs do.
Sugar Magnolia
Aug. 24, 1972
Berkeley Community Theatre

Has the rhythm and thrust of an 18-wheeler cruising 85 m.p.h. If this doesn't get you out of your chair to dance, then nothing will.
Morning Dew
Aug. 24, 1972
Berkeley Community Theatre

This DS>Dew is as sublime an arc as I know in the whole oeuvre. The whole range of whisper to cataclysm is on display. Jerry's voice is also in great shape, and the whole thing seems unworldly.
Brown Eyed Women
Aug. 24, 1972
Berkeley Community Theatre

You got that right, Glyn. This whole show could have gone straight to vinyl. The highlights from this Berkeley run are top '72 (says a hell of a lot), and just Peak Dead all around.
