How is this not here?!? Shoots out of cannon at light speed (after a slooooooow '76 Wharf Rat).

China Doll

Iowa State Fairgrounds

China Doll always helped bring us back down. Listen to this one coming after 62+ minutes of high-powered jamming and fully comprehend its beauty.

A beauty. Jer's vocals are spot on. Gears up for a mega-epic 2nd half of the set. Listen through the hiss on the archive and enjoy.

Playin' In The Band

28 minutes of groove. Playin' at its finest - but the hiss on the archive version is bad. C. Miller cleaned up part of this show - keep going sir!

Never a bad '73 version: Listen through the hiss (headphones, folks) for a diamond in the rough. Apparently a rainbow emerged during it, really.

Hard to Handle
Nov. 11, 1970
49th Street Rock Palace

45 years ago today... just noticed that. Loooove the archive/time machine. Peace, friends, and give a thought to our veteran brothers and sisters out there today.
Deep Elem Blues
Sept. 30, 1971
Studio

If you like this, then check out 09 November 1970. In spite of being a very rough AUD, it does show off the electric funky Elem.
Walking the Dog

Action House

C- AUD quality for completists only.
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Nov. 8, 1970
Capitol Theater

Mountain Jam "discussed" between 06:40 and approx 07:30. Right there on the surface, just blistering to come out in the open. This is a perfect show all around.
Dark Star
Nov. 8, 1970
Capitol Theater

Everything said supra: pre-verse is possibly the prettiest Dark Star out there. The verse sung beautifully. The crowd is keyed in - listen to the whole run and this show to know just how rowdy and aggressive they were - and coalesces around the hyperspace jump into the post-verse exploration by hushing the lone doubter. What comes next is mind-ripping and hard; don't use this to convince your dead-doubting partner to get on the bus. But then light. The darkness clears and we're home free... A Main Ten brings order back to the spacial consciousness. All this in 16 minutes of music.
