Hard to Handle

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

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.

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.

Orpheum Theatre

Deliberate is a good term for it. After a speedy and scattered Let it Grow (Bobby's chews up the lyrics), Jerry takes over the transition and somehow both spins higher and higher, while bring the band together, slows, them down, catches a breath, and lands on this intensely focused Wharf Rat,

But dude, if you believe Bobby when he tells you it's someone's birthday, I've got a bridge to sell you! That's some Prankster voodoo trickery, man.
