Winterland Arena

Expansive and spacious with brilliant flashes. Has a few bad AUD patches in need of a fix but well worth the ride.

Friend of the Devil
Dec. 11, 1972
Winterland Arena

Short and sweet. Not lickety-split quick pickin' à la 1970-71 and certainly not a slow-as-cold-molasses 80's style either, but nice and right. A gem.

Unique version. Great vocals with Jerry singing backup. Classic '72 sound.

Fillmore East

Back from when this wasn't just a toss-off after Drums/Space. High voltage Pig.

Not mellow. Not spaced-out sweetness, but a burning hot re-entry after a rocketship TOO.

A real surprise and treat after the finger blistering Dancin'. Right now becomes my favorite ever.
Dancin' in the Streets

Swing Auditorium

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

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

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

Hofheinz Pavilion

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