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.

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.

Playin' In The Band

I always consider this and the 18th's as key transitional versions between the '72 and '73 sounds as it relates to PiTB. Can you imagine after the night before deciding "hmmm, that was great but there's still something more in there. Let's do it again tomorrow...". Oh, and on its own merits this one deserves so many more votes than it has - it's overshadowed indeed by its maniac older brother from the day before. That said, the re-entry here, with Phil pulsing harmonics is just gorgeous.

Miller remix puts you right in the Phil Zone like back in the day.
Greatest Story Ever Told

Like everything in this show, this just floors it and knocks everything out of its way. Hard-drivin', hard rockin', and high adrenaline. The Miller mix allows you to follow Phil just like how it sounded in the ZONE. Damn, I loved that side of the stage.
Uncle John's Band

Century II Convention Hall

Beautiful anthemic version following one hellofa set. They're still biting down hard after hours of solid jamming, and this one has all the sweetness and light alongside the darkness and grunge that makes a great UJB so unique in their oeuvre.

Grendel, I'm pouring one for your good doggo. Sorry for your loss, man, and good for you for taking in a rescue. They're all good dogs. Is your new pup named Beowulf ?
