Greatest Story Ever Told

The new SBD's are crystal clear, with everyone audible. Whoever that Billy guy is could sure play some goddamned drums. He's solid gold on this one.

Charged up and triumphant. The whole week of shows before Europe is killer. Thanks go to C. Miller for the great archive versions.

Key moment in transforming PITB into a cosmic monster. 9.5 minutes of gooey goodness here. C.Miller's version is the best. Dig in boys.

The outro might be the three most intensely energetic minutes of GD music ever. The first part rocks too. Why not here yet? This show is a goldmine.

Now I know a lot of you don't dig this song, but goddamn they pour it on for this one. Great Jerry filagree backing the passionate vox. Listen to the

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.

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.

C- AUD quality for completists only.
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

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.
