The intro isn't much, but the outro just swells up and hits you in the head like a bag of hammers. Explosive power. Outrageous.

Massive crunching slammer. Wrongfully ignored show. Hot Cryptical outro, too.

Why is this classic and historically important show ignored? They sound great here. Enjoy.

Smokey gut-bucket blooze. Damned fine.

Uncle John's Band
Nov. 16, 1970
Fillmore East

Seems like the date of the show is in question, with strong arguments for the 16th ("unannounced show") or the 23rd ("Hells Angels Benefit"), with "memories" backing up either story. Either way, it's a magic little show with great accompaniments by guest stars. This UJB is gorgeous.
King Bee

Anderson Theatre

Some debate as to this date. Just listened to it all as 16 November 1970. In any case, the whole thing is just amazing. I love how clear Bobby is in the mix throughout, which is so rare for the era.
Feelin' Groovy Jam

Strand Lyceum

Right on Robjacobi waikikirob. As I said on the Dark Star comments from this show, this is the music I want playing (on a loop) over my tombstone. Also, nice form on your picture there. Ride one for all those surfers out there who no longer live next to the ocean....
Samson and Delilah

Winterland Arena

Charges right out of the gate. Even if this isn't your favorite song, they leave no doubt about their blazing energy. Jerry/Keith communication across the soloing is just brilliant.

Ripping opener. It's been so long since I dropped in on this show, but it's like a cool glass of water on a hot day: Just exactly perfect. Jerry's outro solo announced to these lucky fans just what kind of night they were in for.
