They Love Each Other

This song gets better and better during the Spring '73 tour. Here it grooves with so much butt in it, just try to sit still.

Triumphant and building, reaches one peak after another. Beautifully harmonised.

So fine. Jer and Keith are so playful and so fast, Bobby's on.

Nice banging and clanging solos here and a damned fine backwoods country vibe to this whole first set.

Great high-energy show opener. 30-31 March '73 often overlooked. Give a listen and you wont regret it.

Cryptical Envelopment

Fantastic outro from a jamming TOO, right around when they switched from focusing on Cryptical to TOO. This one is a simmering soundscape. AUD phobes should not pass up this one, the whole show is emblematic of the era, and a great representation of what the boys could do in 1970.

But this one isn't relaxed at all. This is hard-rockin' Outlaw Dead. Ballsy vocals and a 1500 cc chopper of a jam. Plus you get to hear Pigpen curse at Bear afterward. Hard driving. Not chill.

I'm referring here to the Bunjes and Tuete link and haven't had time to go through each version on the Archive. To note as well that the first 20 seconds are an AUD patch, so presumably there's a complete version in B/B- quality out there too. In any case enjoys it brothers and sisters, it's a rare beauty.
