Playin' In The Band

Rossevelt Stadium

Hard-driver with intense 10/4 jamming throughout. Phil and Billy give it extra oomph. Great mix with Keith and Jer up front and clear.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
July 18, 1972
Rossevelt Stadium

One of those rare ones where China Cat plods a bit and they move into a blazing hot Rider. Great show all around, too.

Keith plays beautifully on this.

Like with all Winter '73s the band is in excellent form. Bobby's slashing chords behind Big Jer just make this one an uptempo gem.

Sweet and lovely. Jerry's virtuoso fillagree behind Bobby's smooth-as-smoke vocals just slay me here.

Perfect acoustic version. A beautiful gem from the early era.

Hey right on, Gerry O. That's a great description.

A long sweet ride through many transitive nightfalls. Quite interstellar without going completely inter-dimensional multiverse. No meltdown on this one, but a gorgeous Tighten Up Jam starting somewhere around 14:40.

A compact gem. The boys were out to impress England tonight. Doesn't have the overdrive power of the famous '71s, but a damned fine single-length version in front of what was like a totally unfamiliar audience.
