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.

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.

Bobby's really clear on the Miller mix, and it's excellent. Too many shows from '72 have him way way too far back in the sound. This is closer to what I remember it being like live.

Get some headphones for this, and marvel at just what Keith was capable of when he was at his best. This whole set is packed with underappreciated gems like this one: The band is in total mind-meld, while Keith is just spectacular throughout.

Transition to Rider rev's up and is just about to overheat when they pull it way back and start singing quite sweetly. Nice touch - but an awful cut in my version.
Not Fade Away

Stanley Theatre

The first NFA has its moments and is worth a vote, but stick around for the lickety-split GDTRFB (seems like it's accelerating!) and Jerry lets you know just how much water he's got left in the well. The outro then picks up the energy and they close out on a blistering jam. Great stuff.

A real beaut with a perfect fade-out, ending a great 2nd hour-long jam.
