Rochester Community War Memorial

Totally overlooked show, but blazing hot and extraordinary jams. Everything here that make '73 what it is.

Mellow accoustic goodness - sweet and evocative. The whole set is 1970 amazingnessiosity at its headiest.

Pirates World

Playing down to their last allowed second, the boys squeeze a tight (top-40 levels) hard rockin' version. Killer end to a great little show.

Playin' In The Band

Seems like it covers 25 minutes of jam in about 11 minutes. It's dense, tightly packed, purposeful, and heavy. Get ready to be shot out of the psychedelic cannon with this one.

Almost put this under the IKYR page w/o the CC, even though it would have been historically misleading. Pity about the cut.

Loooooove the deadessays BlogSpot stuff. That's what I was thinking about. There were also great qualitative lists at greatfuldeadprojects.com, (the "top 100 shows off the beaten path" was a killer introduction to any era). It seems to have been taken down. Anyone have info on what happened to it?

Got links? i remember seeing some similar deep analysis (PhD-level musicology or something) about Dark Stars. I love that kind of thing.

Hey Catalonia, what are your metrics? Spreadsheet is a great idea, but what are your y-axis columns? Shreddiness? Steal-your-faceosity? I dig the idea.
