Dancin' in the Streets
Dec. 17, 1970
The Matrix

Questionable date, but unquestionably amazing. A great classic jam with a near-perfect recording for the time. A++

Morning Dew
Nov. 29, 1970
Club Agora

Rough AUD, but showcases a brilliant and intense buildup enhanced by what sounds like a Hammond B3. Deserves a cleanup, as much of 11.70 does.

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

The Palestra, U. of Rochester

Beautiful jam here, with some great Jerry fuzztone soloing.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

The Palestra, U. of Rochester

Nice warm AUD for the era, with a sparkling CCS and great transition into IKYR.

The Other One

Anderson Theatre

Whether it's the 16th or the 23rd, it's a real humdinger. Perfect transition out of Truckin'.

So nice to have Bobby clear in the mix. Some times I think that his contribution is systematically undervalued as he's so consistently lost in the mix. This one is the exception though, and watch what he does.... Just beautiful throughout it.

The sweetness and youth in Jerry's voice, contrasted with the desperado lyrics and the gentleness of the - yes - heartbreakingly gorgeous playing contribute to making this one 'desert island' quality.
Ain't It Crazy (The Rub)

Fillmore East (Late Show)

Plus it's acoustic Pig, which is pretty cool.

Seriously grinding rocker.

Slinky and stripped down to its bare essence. This is a great version and a strong showing for those heads who dig '70 above all others.
