Let It Grow

Orpheum Theatre

Gives you blisters on your fingers just listening to it. Great second bit coming after drums. Solid if not somewhat overlooked show.

Death Don't Have No Mercy
Aug. 23, 1968
Shrine Auditorium

A bit shorter and tighter than some, but brilliant, and part of an immortal set of primal blasting power.

Takes off on you for a deep and weird ride, then goes into a brilliant "The Main Ten" which just kills me its so good.

Capitol Theater

The boys were in a mellow mood tonight, and this one is the sweet and tearful-cowboy ballad it was written to be.

Capitol Theater

Moody, pensive, and beautifully acoustic. Like no other. Unbelievably beautiful.

Here Comes Sunshine
Nov. 14, 1973
San Diego International Sports Arena

Brings the love on strong and thick. Second round of soloing is pretty mega Though they aren't quite as tight as other versions coming out of the jam, I still keep this on my ever-expanding list of "top shelf" '73 shows.

Kiel Auditorium

Zen-like spacious "hot mellow" like the best of '73. Opening the show like this must have told the heads in attendance, "Gear up boys and girls, we're on tonight...."
Hard to Handle
Aug. 4, 1971
Terminal Island Correctional Facility

Solid rocker.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 2, 1977
Paramount Theatre

Beautiful with a tight jam that scratches the Scarlet Itch. Sounds like Keith on an early celeste program for synth or MOOG at beginning of FTM. Anyone know what rig he was playing?

Big LIG fan here, who generally prefers the '73 sound to the speedy late '70s and '80s vibe, but this one knocks it out of the park. Totally blazing.
