Beautiful harmonies and country soul. Brilliant and historically important show.

Playin' In The Band
Feb. 18, 1971
Capitol Theater

First performance ever and it's slower, but beautiful and raw. Bobby sings like a country warbler typical of the '71s. Historically interesting.

Greatest Story Ever Told
Feb. 18, 1971
Capitol Theater

Primordial version, first time played, introduced as "Mickey wants to call this one 'The Pump Man' for reasons of his own." Raw and unlike any other.

Loser
Feb. 18, 1971
Capitol Theater

First Loser ever and the last Mickey show before his break. Brilliant version, hot energetic vocals and that good '71 sound.

Hurts Me Too

Capitol Theater

Dripping with deep-soul. Pigpen's voice at its best. Sounds like honey.

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

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.
