The Race Is On
March 31, 1973
War Memorial

The most shit-kickinest version I know. Real swagger and Phil bombs early in the set.

Eyes Of The World
March 30, 1973
Rochester Community War Memorial

Strong version from a forgotten show. Whole second set on this show is SB, not AUD. Worth multiple listenings, great jazzy jam.

Playin' In The Band

Rochester Community War Memorial

An intense, tight, and blisteringly hot version in a forgotten show. DO NOT IGNORE! Archive is SB, not AUD w/ decent sound. Listen to it!

Bird Song

Rochester Community War Memorial

Listen through the murk of the AUD recording and you find a beautiful exploratory version. Headphones only.

Playin' In The Band

Civic Center

Intense energy and deep exploration coming after (!) a massive Dark Star and a shredding Eyes to close out one hell of a concert.

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.
