Hard to Handle
Feb. 12, 1970
Ungano's Night Club

Date overshadowed by the next night and ambiguous provenance - but don't skip it. Bobby's high in the mix with rare balance and a great jam.

Beat it on Down The Line
Feb. 12, 1970
Ungano's Night Club

Has that blistering surf punk energy that the best early BIODTLs have. Whole show rocks, even if it may not have ever existed.

Cold Rain and Snow

Fillmore East

Less known than the immortal Feb. 13 show, but every bit as good. They are so dailed in, just exactly perfect.

Exuberent and crisp with pumped up energy... Hmmmm?

Pig was responsible for a whole lotta new babies after this one. Turns it over and gives the ladies some instruction to go out and get it. Nice.

Play this for anyone who thinks '76 is 'too slow'. They are way up on top of this on and Billy and Mickey just open it up and own it.

Thanks darkstar67! I'll check that out. I love how the Tapers Section just keeps on keeping on. I dig the Tobin Matrix for this show too :https://archive.org/details/gd1976-06-10.matrix.tobin.84985.sbeok.flac16/gd76-06-10d2t07.flac
Eyes Of The World

Iowa State Fairgrounds

This moves through phases along the way but gets there in style! Hits brilliant experimental patches and flirts at weirdness (never really getting there) when all at once-blam-o! It lands you in... BIG RIVER?!? What a mind-fuck that must have been for the Heads in attendance. Gotta love them for such spontaneity.

Sorry about the multiple posts. My rig ain't working.

Don't let a scuffy AUD scare you away from this pristine Cassidy. Bobby and Donna are in sweet harmony, and the band has that 'hot mellow' perfection: Not rushing, but scorching earth. Jerry swoops and soars, riding thermals behind that Cadillac like an eagle chasing prey.
