Wild and reckless - a supernova.

It rocks. A tight first Born Cross Eyed after a pretty rough New Potato Caboose. Love the '68 sound.

Carousel Ballroom

First version, out of the first China Cat ever. Epic show. Pigpen is on fire the whole night.

Turn On Your Love Light

Carousel Ballroom

Blazing start to an awe inspiring, historically massive show. It's pure. Pig and Bobby are especially fun during the hocket (vocal back and forth).

Born Cross Eyed

Eureka Municipal Auditorium

Massive, sprawling, acid rock bursting at its seams. "Primal Dead" bending space-time.

Bird Song

Baltimore Civic Center

Tight is right. This one almost sounds through-composed, but doesn't lose the soaring spontaneity either. Beautiful version.
Brokedown Palace
Sept. 16, 1972
Boston Music Hall

One of the better ones, this. Seriously underrated. There's good SBD, so avoid the rough AUD.
Dark Star

Boston Music Hall

A long strange trip. This one took the lucky audience far furthur out and back again. Love the description above of this as a "buffet".

Playin' In The Band
Sept. 16, 1972
Boston Music Hall

Delicate and sparkling. Has the melodic theme bubbling up to the surface here and there, which is really different from the other Playin's in Summer/Fall '72. For the AUD-hesitant: The show up to this point is pretty rough, but there's a good SB version on the archive of Playin' through NFA.
