Fillmore East (Late Show)

Low key and smooth - a real treat. Show is known for its great DS>SS>11, but give this a listen. Nice.

Hurts Me Too
Jan. 22, 1971
Lane Community College

Despite the lo-fi tape, this has got to be some of the deepest blues they ever played. Don't let the murky recording turn you off - it's worth it.

Hard to Handle

Dillon Gym

Cruising along with 3rd° swagger when it suddently hits high gear and <BOOM!>, you become the Pig, and it feels good.

Dillon Gym

Openers this good let you know exactly how amazing the show will be. 17.04 isn't just the best Good Lovin' of all time but an all round killer show.

Big Railroad Blues

Manhattan Center

Simply the best one I know. Energetic uptempo rockin' and rollin' with a hard driving bass player named PHIL!

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

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.
