Let It Grow

Orpheum Theatre

Gives you blisters on your fingers just listening to it. Great second bit coming after drums. Solid if not somewhat overlooked show.

Death Don't Have No Mercy
Aug. 23, 1968
Shrine Auditorium

A bit shorter and tighter than some, but brilliant, and part of an immortal set of primal blasting power.

Takes off on you for a deep and weird ride, then goes into a brilliant "The Main Ten" which just kills me its so good.

The boys were in a mellow mood tonight, and this one is the sweet and tearful-cowboy ballad it was written to be.

Moody, pensive, and beautifully acoustic. Like no other. Unbelievably beautiful.

Hella great energy: Just savage at the transition point from LL>Sup, and Bobby tears it up like his life depended on it.
Good Lovin'

Winterland Arena

New C. Miller cleanup makes this an fun-fest, even if they just can't seem to get the monitors right....

There's another funky electric version on the recently posted Charlie Miller cleanup of 23 December 1970, which is different, but also freakin' fantastic.
Dancin' in the Streets

Winterland Arena

gdtrfb Era E: Is this the same as the dubiously dated 17 December 1970 on the Archive? I don't have the Family Dog stuff. If it is, it's freakin' hot stuff.
Cold Rain and Snow
Dec. 17, 1970
The Matrix

Questionable date, but unquestionably awesome. Should be much higher - and the alternative date (October 4, 1970) proposed by some commentators on the archive is not up here - so listen up, heads, this one is the goods.
