Playin' In The Band

Omaha Civic Auditorium

Early Playin'>MHUT>Big River>Playin' sandwich. Worth it for the surprise bigbang key-changer from River into the wildassed 2nd Playin'.

Let It Grow
Oct. 21, 1973
Omaha Civic Auditorium

Liberated from the Horn Section, the boys let 'er rip. Standard fare until about 6:30, then Jer and Keith just explode into full immensity.

Cumberland Blues

Omaha Civic Auditorium

Up and jumping, fast and precise version in spite of a few sound quality problems.

Sound quality may prevent some from appreciating this show, but don't miss this one. Bobby gives it everything, everyone goes nuts behind him.

Sing Me Back Home
Sept. 26, 1973
War Memorial

Forgotten or overlooked, but melts-in-your-mouth sweet. More of a triumphant blues than the gospel beauties from '72.

Turn On Your Love Light
Jan. 2, 1970
Fillmore East (Late Show)

Jack-a-Straw is right: this deserves much more recognition. That they had enough energy after the monumental DS>SS>11 to even attempt a Love Light is of course staggering. That they were able to blast through the firmament with a Love Light of this intensity is immortal. Give her a listen and vote her up, boys.
Dark Star
Jan. 2, 1970
Fillmore East (Late Show)

No doubt about it, 1970 kicks off with a massive massive heady Star, folks. This, as mentioned above, is well under-rated. It's got deep creepy far out lose-yer-mind predatory space craters followed by back-to-your body feather-light elegant whispers, and then there's that brilliant Tighten Up jam. Could go much higher on the list.
Uncle John's Band

Everything you look for in an early UJB, right here.
The Other One

Fillmore East (Late Show)

Something succinct about these comments, demonstrating just what a high standard they were playing at this pivotal new year's juncture. In short: this one rocks hard. Great transition from the Cryptical reprise into a sweet Cosmic Charlie too.
