Hard to Handle

Ungano's Night Club

Date overshadowed by the next night and ambiguous provenance - but don't skip it. Bobby's high in the mix with rare balance and a great jam.

Beat it on Down The Line

Ungano's Night Club

Has that blistering surf punk energy that the best early BIODTLs have. Whole show rocks, even if it may not have ever existed.

Less known than the immortal Feb. 13 show, but every bit as good. They are so dailed in, just exactly perfect.

Exuberent and crisp with pumped up energy... Hmmmm?

Pig was responsible for a whole lotta new babies after this one. Turns it over and gives the ladies some instruction to go out and get it. Nice.

Industrial cruncher. Bobby's brilliant here.

Hey deadheadben, are you doing a chronological thing through 1970? I'm just about finished (up to 26 December now) and have loved it. There's so much variety and change, buried treasures in murky AUDs and of course the great acoustic stuff. I took my time and spiced it up whenever I wanted to hear something else, but kept at it. I've done the same with '73, '74, '75 (easy), and '71, so next is either '76 or '72.... Enjoy it man... I sure have. Peace.

Some tape speed problems, though definitely smokin'.

The antidote to anyone who things that all of '76 crawls along at a soporific pace: this one cooks!

Cool black and white video of the whole concert on at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmr3o0_92f0 The band is so tight and the fun is in the air. Very nice transition into Sup.
