Not Fade Away

Exposition Center

Murky AUD and incomplete show on IA, but a blaze of fun, this one. Has an itty-bitty Mountain Jam at 1:25 for about 12 seconds.

Some rough spots coming back in, but a very interesting almost Santana-esque first jam and a great Pig groove. Interesting one.

Caution

Surprised it isn't here yet. Only one in '71 and it intensely musical and weirdly experimental. Crashes into a short feedback/tuning then a sweet UJB.

The Other One

Moves between super-charged hard rocker and an open-spaced delicate beauty. Marred by a cut, so how far did it really go? Anyone have the complete?

Soaring jam flirts with tipping into the outer void. Wild beauty with Pig on B3 gives it something extra.

Really lifts off and sends you out there. Beautiful exploratory jams before the first chorus and leading into MAMU.

cgarces is right about this one. This is as solid rockin' a heady version as any. Sounds to me like it has Pig on organ and Keith on keys, which is a rare treat indeed.
Playin' In The Band

This and the one from the previous night are key transitional Playin's that show the crack in the door to the spacetime bender that it becomes throughout '72. They're both worth more than one spin, and though I think the 25th is a bit more coherent, this one has the openness and freedom that we come to associate with Playin' ever after and is probably my favorite of the two.

This is how this song should have always been played: With Jer on luscious pedal steel and Phil on beautifully harmonic backup vocals.

Gritty and soulful version. Check out Charlie Miller's cleanup for a great sound, with everyone clear and crisp in the mix.
