Truckin'
Dec. 5, 1971
Felt Forum - Madison Square Garden

Diesel-burnin' hard charging set opener. "Straight to number 1 in Turlock, California and that's a fact."

Playin' In The Band
Dec. 6, 1971
Felt Forum, Madison Square Garden

Each Playin' since Keith joined seems to take one more step towards going supernova in '72. Here Jerry seems to get it in a whole new way. Excellence.

Powerful version. Show doesn't get the lvoe of the night before, but is every bit as deserving.

Some of Billy K's most amazing work behind this galloper.

Balls to the wall rock and roll. Tight version.

Uncle John's Band
Aug. 24, 1972
Berkeley Community Theatre

The energy and drive on this is unparalleled. The outro(s) are just phenomenal, and all after hours of high-velocity, outer-spheres-crazy creative jamming: The finest band in the land indeed.
Ramble On Rose
Aug. 24, 1972
Berkeley Community Theatre

Convincing, up-tempo pulse to it. Never lags, as some RoRs do.
Sugar Magnolia
Aug. 24, 1972
Berkeley Community Theatre

Has the rhythm and thrust of an 18-wheeler cruising 85 m.p.h. If this doesn't get you out of your chair to dance, then nothing will.
Morning Dew
Aug. 24, 1972
Berkeley Community Theatre

This DS>Dew is as sublime an arc as I know in the whole oeuvre. The whole range of whisper to cataclysm is on display. Jerry's voice is also in great shape, and the whole thing seems unworldly.
Brown Eyed Women
Aug. 24, 1972
Berkeley Community Theatre

You got that right, Glyn. This whole show could have gone straight to vinyl. The highlights from this Berkeley run are top '72 (says a hell of a lot), and just Peak Dead all around.
