Good Lovin'
April 21, 1971
Rhode Island Auditorium

Insights and meditations on life love and picking up hookers from the great one. See his mind at work, jump on the wagon and ride.

Hard to Handle
April 18, 1971
Lusk Field House - State University Of New York

Overlooked gritty superfunk. Bobby solos, then Jerry takes him to school. Phil, meanwhile is nuking the world big time.

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
April 17, 1971
Dillon Gym

Subtle and musical, slithers its way into an epic Lovelight. Nicely different from others of the era, no NFA sandwich.

Hard to Handle

Davis Gym, Bucknell University

Another raging inferno. Benefits enormously from a great mix where everyone's audible and you hear Bobby's part. Hot stuff.

Paramount Theater

Carries forward the intensely creative force of the TOO before it. A glory.

Cumberland Blues

Yeah the Dark Star's cool... but did you hear the Cumberland?!? It's like they each had 100 fingers.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Sept. 27, 1972
Stanley Theatre

Nice and tweaky. But how about his manic-mouse pizzicato background around minute 3:00. Throughout this show it seems like they're having a blast.

Goddamned right hvd Sleuth. I love it when some of the so-called "filler" songs crackle and pop and remind you why the Dead were the finest band in the land. This one comes off a "dynamite" (Phil's word) Bird Song, and you could tell they were having a blast rippin' through it.

They fix some tuning problems mid-way through and then just turn on the heat. What a way to open a show!
Bird Song
Sept. 27, 1972
Stanley Theatre

Brilliant soundscapes throughout, with Bobby nice and audible in the mix (soundboard, not the DP). Jerry makes bird sounds and swoops and soars over and above the rolling wind and cloud ocean coming from Phil and Billy. Great great stuff from one of the top eras of this beautiful song.
