Playin' In The Band
April 29, 1972
Musikhalle

A mysterious beauty. Understated, elegant, and crystal clear, but shredding and fun. A nice little gem.

Jahrhunderthalle

Hard rocker. Great interplay and the band at the top of their '72 game. "No. 1 in Turlock, and that's a fact". - Bobby.

He's Gone

Jahrhunderthalle

Uptempo, almost a shuffle, like the best of the '72s. High energy 1st set.

The Other One

Manhattan Center

Powerful version with insane Phil muscular bass kicking into a sweet Wharf Rat. A gem of a show.

Let It Grow

Jai-Alai Fronton

Sneaks up calm then hits critical mass: Suddenly you are the blade of grass, the dew on the crops, the explosive heat of summertime. Love it.

An undeniably beautiful version from an outrageously beautiful acoustic set in an unbelievably face-stealingly beautiful show. Did I mention that I like it?
Morning Dew

Marin County Veterans Auditorium

Nice description, couldn't say it better myself. One of the best 80s Dews I know.

Interstellar undersea worlds with an occasional Persian carpet-riding caterpillars whooshing through en route to a killer Dew: Yep, that'll do nicely, thanx.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Marin County Veterans Auditorium

The Slipknot alone would merit an up vote, but the long, grooving Franklin's sets it in stone.

Good call hvd, and I'll check out 10.12.83 too. Sounds almost like they forgot which set they were in and were just itching to lift off into it. This one could be much higher, and it's a great example of the mid-80s sound that first got me on the bus.
