A little triumph here. Acoustic intimacy from a brilliant great of a show.

Like all your best friends sitting around the campfire, strumming and pickin' by starlight. Have a sip or a toke and enjoy....

Really lovely here, part of one of the warmest, most intimate acoustic sets of 1970.

Jerry and Bob bite down hard and tear into this one with muscle. Their interplay lightens up and whoops! We find ourselves in Stephen.

Anthemic beauty. Great ensemble singing and powerful pacing to it. Then Janis steps on stage for Love Light, so there's that.

Bird Song

Ford Auditorium
Unfortunate cut, probably just a tape flip, but an otherwise gorgeous, flying vintage '72 Bird Song that lifts of and soars.
Playin' In The Band

Cleveland Public Hall
Better without headphones. Mix problems are less obvious in an ambient environment. Sad about the cut, though: Jerry is carving wormholes through spacetime while Billy plays every sound in the forest and every wave in the ocean across infinite eons.

Tighter than the 09th and 26th, and only the third one performed apart from the '70 show. Quite beautifully performed, even if Billy's drums are a bit high in the mix.

A clear and strong statement of the NFBM melody, tighter and more deliberate than the 26th and 27th versions.
