Sweet fun in a gorgeous acoustic set. Clapalong crowd adds to the joy.

Slow waltz tempo. Bobby's voice gorgeous, Jerry's cantina filigree perfect. A perfect gem. AUD quality B-.

Whoa sweet mama! Back to this show and every note seems worth a shoutout.

Pigpen gets a woman pregnant on stage. Rough AUD but utterly worth it. The jam starting around 16:00 is very hot.

The Other One

School Gymnasium, S.U.N.Y.

A barnburner that suffers a bit from compressed sound quality (and a mic. problem), but still hot & worth a spin. Cryptical outro gets going nicely.

Playin' In The Band

Sounds unequivocally '72 from start to finish, predicting where this monster goes between Europe and Oregon in a few short months. Should be waaaaaay higher.

Pig/Keith chemistry out the wazoo, and that's not something you hear everyday. They're just perfect together.

Show is languishing down in the 2-3 votes per range, which doesn't do it justice at all. This is a smokin' barnburner. They were entirely in the zone from note one by this point in the tour. Give it an up.

MerryJerry, I've just been cramming them into Space, finally. There's no slot on here for "Phil & Ned" either, so I just overlook the anachronism and call it Space.

DonnieinMT, I'm real curious if you've got other dark stars that do it for you. Based on your comment, I think you're just not into spacey jams. Me, I could dig this one all night though, and its transitive nightfall is deservedly near the top of the list. The fact that they're all thumb wrestling throughout it to find their ways back into form and melody, but clearly having too good a time to stop, sets the tone just right. Where else could they go after starting each set with killer Playin's and Morning Dews?
