Rochester Community War Memorial

Totally overlooked show, but blazing hot and extraordinary jams. Everything here that make '73 what it is.

Mellow accoustic goodness - sweet and evocative. The whole set is 1970 amazingnessiosity at its headiest.

Me and My Uncle

Pirates World

Playing down to their last allowed second, the boys squeeze a tight (top-40 levels) hard rockin' version. Killer end to a great little show.

The Eleven
Feb. 5, 1970
Fillmore West

Sorry - didn't hear the correct version. The Eleven doesn't come out of Mason's. My bad.
St. Stephen
Feb. 2, 1970
Fox Theatre

One-of-a-kind transition into Mason's. Historic, if only because this was the first DS>SS after Tom C. left the band (unless they played another one in Hawaii after January 23 that didn't make it onto the Archive...).
Dark Star
Feb. 2, 1970
Fox Theatre

Everything you could want in a 1970 Star: Tight when it needs to be, then loose when it should be, eclectic, melodic, soaring, deep, complicated... Twists its themes around themselves like a moebius strip.
The Other One
Feb. 1, 1970
The Warehouse

Re-entry comes in with supernova force and one of those throat-drying "I hope I can handle this" moments. Some folks are probably still seeing tracers from it. Though it does have a patch missing, it's still hella worth the ride.
Black Peter

The Warehouse

Deep, subtle, beautiful acoustic version. So intimate, it sounds like they're just singing around a campfire.
