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.

Wonderful theme and variation in that build up.

Family Dog at the Great Highway

One of the most under-rated songs on their Great Jam Vehicles list. Seems like they were always innovating with it. I love how they start tweaking the tempo several times - a sure sign they were just itching to take things furthur out with it.

Love the rare acoustic MAMUs.

The Feedback after is perfectly symphonic. I'm never sure where to vote for Feedback, as it doesn't really fit in "Space" and it was certainly it's own section after different jams in '68-'71. Ideas?
