Low key and smooth - a real treat. Show is known for its great DS>SS>11, but give this a listen. Nice.

Lane Community College

Despite the lo-fi tape, this has got to be some of the deepest blues they ever played. Don't let the murky recording turn you off - it's worth it.

Cruising along with 3rd° swagger when it suddently hits high gear and <BOOM!>, you become the Pig, and it feels good.

Openers this good let you know exactly how amazing the show will be. 17.04 isn't just the best Good Lovin' of all time but an all round killer show.

Manhattan Center

Simply the best one I know. Energetic uptempo rockin' and rollin' with a hard driving bass player named PHIL!

Sounds like Tom C. on a steam calliope. Any historians out there know what rig he was on here? Cool, pure 1970 sound here just giving birth to itself out of the crash landing of the sixties....

Jerry's vocal performance is clear and beautiful. Sweet, pure version.

Almost studio perfect. Lovely

Funny you'd say that hvd, I just made a similar comment about 10 June 1973: Opening with the Dew always means going in big.

Any show that OPENS with Morning Dew is going to be spectacular. Maybe that's too obvious to say, but damn they mean bizznezz from the start. A ripsnorting version from all sides.
