Hard to Handle

49th Street Rock Palace

Hot soloing and '71 levels of intensity. Listenable in spite of some tape wobble and distortion. Fun to watch H2H expanding during this era.

Action House

Headphones only very rough AUD, but one of the rare electric funky Deep Elems. Historical rarity.

Pity about the C- sound quality, because a new tape of this would show us a real corker.

Final jam in an enormous show. Just killer. Follows the one NRPS set you need to hear. Whatta world.

Through the AUD fuzz and chatter comes a beautifully rendered vocal performance. Enjoy this hidden treasure.

Come back to it, over and over again. Opening the set like this is a beautiful statement from the band to fans.
Easy Wind

Pauley Ballroom, U. of California

Some tape speed issues in the first two tracks of this show seem resolved by the time we get to this super-charged insane rager. Pig's harp solo is top notch and Jerry blows the world to pieces with his last solo. Tape quality is pretty poor aside from the speed questions, so this is for AUD lovers only. June '70 seems where they really pulled Easy Wind together with June 5th, 13th and 24th all pretty hardcore.

The real beast here is the experimental jam after Pig's rap. Pity the AUD is about B- quality. The first half of the show is pristine SBD, but alas, the rest is pretty degraded.
New Speedway Boogie

Red Vest

Tough-to-swallow switchover from SBD to AUD a couple of minutes in, but nevertheless worth every second. They do a slightly mellower, jazz-influenced take on it rather than the hard-drivin' bone crusher more typical of the era. I guess it's easy to mellow out in Hawaii, ya think?

A subtle, understated sweetheart of an early version. Bobby and Phil's harmonies have a rare beauty here.
