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

Hard to Handle

McDonough Arena - Georgetown University

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

Not Fade Away

Cleveland Music Hall

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

The Other One

Cleveland Music Hall

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.

Yeah guys, this is the one for me too. Almost ready to make me some of those mythic fake accounts just to vote for it again and again.... Peace to one and all from an old head happy to see this one up here again. !!!
Sugar Magnolia

Fillmore East

Compare this to the capitol theater shows just a few months earlier (I'm thinking of the amazing 24 June show), when Sugar Mag was still embryonic, and you can see just how fast the '70 concept was evolving. Sugar Mag goes from an idea to a fully formed song on the road, and by mid-September it's already this beautiful monster.

Can anyone point out another version or set when Bobby's voice sounded so good? Maybe it's the perfect mix, the warm acoustics, the intimate setting, or whatnot, but I can't think of anything that comes close to his mellow melodicism and lyrical beauty on this whole acoustic set.

I'm with you hvd on putting this up there as one of the best acoustic sets ever. Hell, this whole run is just unbelievable, but they just seem so dialed in on all levels at this show.
Turn On Your Love Light

Fillmore East

From the immortal Dark Star until the final "fuck" after this Love Light, this is just simply a spectacular show. Pity the acoustic set and the first half of the electric are in such rough condition.
