Let It Grow
Oct. 21, 1973
Omaha Civic Auditorium

Liberated from the Horn Section, the boys let 'er rip. Standard fare until about 6:30, then Jer and Keith just explode into full immensity.

Up and jumping, fast and precise version in spite of a few sound quality problems.

Sound quality may prevent some from appreciating this show, but don't miss this one. Bobby gives it everything, everyone goes nuts behind him.

Sing Me Back Home
Sept. 26, 1973
War Memorial

Forgotten or overlooked, but melts-in-your-mouth sweet. More of a triumphant blues than the gospel beauties from '72.

Good Lovin'

Jahrhunderthalle

Pigpen roars, "tighten up" before he jumps in his saddle and rides. And the band tightens up behind him, gets into a groove right underneath that allows him to shine, like the best freaking back-up band of all time.

Bobby throws a little snarl into it , in addition to some great saloon-piano work by Keith, which makes it for me. Hot version.
Dark Star
April 24, 1972
Rheinhalle

A wild ride from start to finish, including vast passages of spontaneous composition, viscous goo, a nasty bit of confusion-inducing hypertweak, and moments of utter beauty. Cool sandwich too, with the second half of Dark Star being an unbelievably beautiful and cogent piece of spontaneous music. What a treat. I'm going to listen to this one again and again....

This one really highlights where Pig could have been going with the emerging '70s sound had he stayed healthy. This has extended jazz- and fusion-influenced jams. His raps fit within the more melodic explorations, and his voice is just perfect. There are other moments from the tour like this, and they stand out for me on how much he was evolving up to the last.

Relentless danger. This is a brain melter.
