Auditorium Theatre

Clanging and banging in all the right ways for the '71 sound. Has so much energy packed into it you can hear how it will explode over the next year.

Very serious, beautiful and magical jam. Should be up there with the top of them. Don't miss it.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Berkeley Community Theater

Virtuoso performance, the transition builds like a speeding river as it reaches a waterfall. There's a short tape gap in Rider, though, its all good.

Smooth and blissful rocker, followed by a very funny 4-second "White Rabbit" quote and conversation in response to a wacky head in the crowd.

Snarling and ballsy, complete with a hog snort in the pause after it. Pigpen got good and greased up for this show. Fun and loose.

I disregarded this show for too many years, and I'm not sure why now, 'cause its got the goods on every number. This Dew owns its votes. Listen and love.

It sounds like Keith has twenty fingers. Killer piano work on this uptempo jumper.

Everything about this set just kicks ass. FreedomHaul said it well.

Hadn't listened to this show on the box set yet, and sweet jeezus this PiTB got a big upgrade. Beg, borrow, or rip the box version and be amazed. Any show that kicks of with this kind of monster is going to be very good indeed. The good just gets better.

The SSDD is over-the top. Total balls-to-the-wall jam.
