China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
July 1, 1973
Universal Amphitheatre

Rock-solid China with Jerry twisting and pulling its melodic basis throughout a great solo + great Feeling Groovy trans. into Rider.

Me and My Uncle
July 1, 1973
Universal Amphitheatre

By far the most snarlingly bad-assed version of 1973. Jer's lines it up and shoots it down, soloing intesely throughout the whole song.

Playin' In The Band
July 1, 1973
Universal Amphitheatre

25 minutes of nirvana. Absolutely everything a Playin' fan could look for - with that strange summer '73 blissed-out "intense mellow".

Mellow jam leading to a slow simmert, then boils and finally melts down brilliantly into a pristine Eyes. Why isn't this here yet?

Universal Amphitheatre

Cowboy Bob and the Mexican Maiden at high speed rip-roaring tempos. Great bursting energy.

Jerry has the voice of an angel here.

Perfect acoustic version. A beautiful gem from the early era.

Hey right on, Gerry O. That's a great description.

A long sweet ride through many transitive nightfalls. Quite interstellar without going completely inter-dimensional multiverse. No meltdown on this one, but a gorgeous Tighten Up Jam starting somewhere around 14:40.
Hard to Handle
May 24, 1970
Hollywood Music Festival

A compact gem. The boys were out to impress England tonight. Doesn't have the overdrive power of the famous '71s, but a damned fine single-length version in front of what was like a totally unfamiliar audience.
