The Race Is On

War Memorial

The most shit-kickinest version I know. Real swagger and Phil bombs early in the set.

Eyes Of The World

Rochester Community War Memorial

Strong version from a forgotten show. Whole second set on this show is SB, not AUD. Worth multiple listenings, great jazzy jam.

Playin' In The Band

Rochester Community War Memorial

An intense, tight, and blisteringly hot version in a forgotten show. DO NOT IGNORE! Archive is SB, not AUD w/ decent sound. Listen to it!

Rochester Community War Memorial

Listen through the murk of the AUD recording and you find a beautiful exploratory version. Headphones only.

Civic Center

Intense energy and deep exploration coming after (!) a massive Dark Star and a shredding Eyes to close out one hell of a concert.

Dark Star

Fillmore East (Late Show)

So nice to have Bobby clear in the mix. Some times I think that his contribution is systematically undervalued as he's so consistently lost in the mix. This one is the exception though, and watch what he does.... Just beautiful throughout it.

The sweetness and youth in Jerry's voice, contrasted with the desperado lyrics and the gentleness of the - yes - heartbreakingly gorgeous playing contribute to making this one 'desert island' quality.
Ain't It Crazy (The Rub)

Fillmore East (Late Show)

Plus it's acoustic Pig, which is pretty cool.

Seriously grinding rocker.

Slinky and stripped down to its bare essence. This is a great version and a strong showing for those heads who dig '70 above all others.
