This magnificent monster could easily be near the top for '71. The show has electrical problems in 1st set, but not here. Listen to it.

Show has a metallic twangy sound, to great effect here: turns this sweet tune into a hot industrial number.

Goes into a "The Main Ten" jam at 3:05 typical of the first month or so with Keith. Plus Phil is going bananas back there.

Jerry's bites down like an acid crocodile. Hot electric wires and sharp as a tack phrasing....

Listen past a few sound and static issues and you have a real beaut of a cruiser here. A solid doo-wop pulse gives it a different flavor too.a

A boogie-woogie unrehearsed mess of a rarity, and I love it.

A damn fine Jack Straw in an excellent show from a peak era. What more could y'all be looking for?

No joking matter: This is Danger Dead. Bad PA or not, when you want a punch in the brain, here's your monster.
Cold Rain and Snow

Between the August Berkeley run, Veneta and this knock-out, I'd say this was a peak run for Cold Rains.

From its silky smooth flow out of He's Gone with its steam-whistle feedback on arrival, this one seeps down from on high, then runs through your bloodstream like a good strong double dose of The Strange. It's long and weird, even though the meltdown sections never go completely bonkers. The re-entry is a musical wonder considering just how far out they were in the moment, and it must have left more than a few jaws dropped to the floor.
