Not Fade Away

Hartford Civic Center

Brilliant double Jerry/Phil solo. Who know that NFA could be such an exploration? A blazing 2nd set tour-closer from Spring '77. What else?!?

That Bob and Jerry both get barnburning warm ups (Bertha then this) pays off throughout this immortal show. Don't just start with the 2nd set!

Playin' In The Band
Sept. 23, 1972
Palace Theater

Nice hot version. Not as tripped out as some and never melts down, but 18 minutes of fun.

Playin' In The Band
Oct. 31, 1971
Ohio Theatre

Hard blistering acid rock with the '71 country vox. 6 minutes, but with the seeds within it that would become Playin' as we know it in '72.

Uncle John's Band
Feb. 18, 1971
Capitol Theater

Energetic encore. Rolling drums and tight energy ending a brilliant show like they were ready for another set.

A real surprise and treat after the finger blistering Dancin'. Right now becomes my favorite ever.
Dancin' in the Streets
Feb. 26, 1977
Swing Auditorium

In as close to a flawless show as this one, the Dancin' really stands out for its incredibly shredding good time vibe.

Philadelphia Civic Center

Woke up with Jack Straw in my mind, came here for this and BANG! Absolutely ripping version. Great stuff.

Philadelphia Civic Center

Faster than others from the era, but never rushed: Finds a really nice pocket and grooves there. High octane indeed.

Has it all. Nice to get into this whole show, not just the immortal PITB.
