Fun, tight version with great energy and tight vocals. Fun stuff.

Begins sounding like the epic hard charging beast it becomes over the next months.

Not Fade Away

The NFA>GDTRFB>NFA sequence in its infancy: 3rd time played, and remarkably smooth and perfect transitions with exuberant jamming.

Super-charged hard rocker here. Hits all the 1970 highlights, with power and precision: a white knuckler. Tape is rough AUD, w/ C. Miller cleanup.

One of Pig's best: Perfect vox, great harp solo. Jerry too. Some tape issues, but thanx Mr. Miller... thanks a lot.

Bobby's outrageous 'devil's gonna getcha' vocals make this one straight outta the wackzone. I was at this show, and by this point in the evening pretty well freaked-the-fuck out. The Kaiser was a great and intimate theatre with good sound. It felt-sounded like the voices were coming from inside your head, and I remember a few of us lying down and trying to hold on through it. A bit creepy, sure, but all good in the end when you get to one of the most beautiful Comes a Times ever right after, like the angel of light parting the clouds after the angel of darkness just blew you into a thousand pieces.

The show starts a bit sleepy, but the drummers kick this one off in high gear. Very short intro, followed by almost ten minutes of drum solos. Then somehow Cumberland shows up before going back to the song. A bit chaotic and wacky? Sure, but it clips along nicely, although it does seem like they forgot all about Good Lovin' until Phil reminded them.... Whattawhirled.

AUD-phobes: Swallow the pill and chase this little beastie down the rabbit hole. This is energetic, muscular, tight jamming with a great transitional flavor. 1970 isn't only country dead, but also a great time for exploring extensive jamming outside of the hard psychedelia of the years prior. Here's a great example of electric, bluesy, hard rock. GDTRFB hears Phil lead the Stephen tease, but I hear him riffing on something that sounds likeFoxy Lady, which Jerry responds to with the SS riff. In any case, it's balls-to-the-wall good time Dead. Enjoy!

Brilliant Bobby-Phil interaction, starting with Bobby on a little double-time riff around minute 6:00, followed by Phil picking it up and laying it down 30 seconds later.
