Early Playin'>MHUT>Big River>Playin' sandwich. Worth it for the surprise bigbang key-changer from River into the wildassed 2nd Playin'.

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.

Cumberland Blues

Omaha Civic Auditorium

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.

Dancin' in the Streets

Fillmore East

Rises and rises into new shapes during the last minutes, but there's an unfortunate cut....
Cocaine Habit Blues

Fillmore East

Almost makes cocaine seem olde-timey and innocent.
Bird Song
Feb. 23, 1971
Capitol Theater

Just exactly perfect. Sweet vocals, beautiful harmonies, nice mix - thank's tapers! Jerry's solo about 3 minutes in is quite different from others, exploring block chord voicings and an angular twanging clanging thang that sounds almost... Bobbyish(?!?), but it's Jer, and it fits perfectly.

Jer's guitar tone is sublime. He's burnin' down the world here.
Black Throated Wind

Dallas Memorial Auditorium

Good catch. Jerry's fills around Bobby's lyrical phrasing and the exquisite tone he was getting out of his axe make this one really special. The two are totally synched up and this one could be way higher on the list. The way they build up towards the climax is brilliant.
