Hard to Handle

49th Street Rock Palace

Hot soloing and '71 levels of intensity. Listenable in spite of some tape wobble and distortion. Fun to watch H2H expanding during this era.

Action House

Headphones only very rough AUD, but one of the rare electric funky Deep Elems. Historical rarity.

Pity about the C- sound quality, because a new tape of this would show us a real corker.

Capitol Theater

Final jam in an enormous show. Just killer. Follows the one NRPS set you need to hear. Whatta world.

Through the AUD fuzz and chatter comes a beautifully rendered vocal performance. Enjoy this hidden treasure.

Playin' In The Band
March 19, 1977
Winterland Arena

Lots to grok here: I'm just discovering this one and listening to the whole sandwich on repeat. I'm mostly a pre-hiatus Playin' guy, from its '70 Main-Ten origins through to the 40+ min fusion masterpieces of 1974, but this honestly just kicks ass from end-to-end. The 'Arabesque' jam is well named - it evokes both the Blues for Allah period and the '78 Giza shows. Fun fun stuff.
They Love Each Other

Has just a little more bite to it than the '76 versions, though still in the slower mode from the pre-hiatus ones. Flawless is right, as the man said.

Rock solid show opener. Tight from the start. That '77 perfection starts to shine brightly here.

B e s t o n e e v e r. Love how Jerry just doesn't want to stop and grinds out more and more and more.
Not Fade Away

Winterland Arena

Around 11:20 Jerry and Keith hit on a new riff that opened up the slow boil onto new terrain. Repetitious? Hardly.... They hit on something that just goes bonkers, turning NFA into hard acid.
