Yeah, Sugar Mag okay... but the Sunshine Daydream is tops. Just kills me each time I hear it.

Truckin'
Sept. 7, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

Top form from a great 2nd set then into a ballsy TOO jam (no lyrics) and then one of the best Eyes of all time.

Let It Grow
Sept. 7, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

First-ever performance. Mid-way they let it grow into experimental bliss. A must-have for LIG fans.

Playin' In The Band
Sept. 7, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

Intense jaming and crystal clear guitar work, plus Billy's hard driving makes it a barn-burner. Gets better each listen.

Here Comes Sunshine

Nassau Coliseum

Really smooth and mellow groove 2nd set opener from a solid show after a month in the studio. Hard to see why not here yet.

Playin' In The Band
Sept. 24, 1972
Palace Theatre

Uptempo, but with some wicked jams that get a bit dark in places. Still, it's a blazing hot Playin' that should get more love than it has here. The Jerry Moore AUD on the archive covers the unpatched gap on the more popular soundboard version.
Bird Song
Sept. 24, 1972
Palace Theatre

This one has a muscular, intense energy to it. Comparing this show to the one the night before is no contest. They were on all night here.
Cumberland Blues
Sept. 24, 1972
Palace Theatre

The best Cumberlands have that feeling of being slightly out of control, like a coal car speeding down tracks laid deep in the mine, losing breaks, blowing switches and shooting sparks. This one's got it in aces.
Black Throated Wind
Sept. 24, 1972
Palace Theatre

Tremendous emotional arc from cool strut at the beginning rising rising into a walk-through-walls powerful climax. '72 was indeed a killer year for this chronically under-estimated monster.
Wharf Rat
Sept. 23, 1972
Palace Theater

A stunner. Beautiful, emotive playing that prefigures the absolute apogee of WR (June '74) by almost two years. Probably to best song of the show, too.
