Orpheum Theater
Kicks off a the second set with a jam that creeps up on you and is suddenly shredding. Cool opener in an under-the-radar show.

New Minglewood Blues

Orpheum Theater
Comes storming out the gate after 5 years on the shelf. The Devils drive this one, but everyone is on, up, and jumping.

Cassidy

Orpheum Theater
Smooth highway. Bobby and Donna in sweet harmony, and with that whiff of grace that marks the best versions of Cassidy out there.

Good times for all on this sweet set closer, coming out of a killer TMNS.

Auditorium Theatre
Beautiful a capella outro here and check out Bobby's polyrythmic harmolodism during the last solo section for a treat.

Avalon Ballroom
Do my ears deceive me or is Pigpen part of the ensemble vocals? That would be a rare thing indeed. I love the Nashville/Bakersfield sound here to this arrangement and Jerry is just brilliant throughout.
Viola Lee Blues

P.N.E. Garden Auditorium
Was there anyone else on the scene extending jams like this in '66? Even aside from the Acid Tests and the psychedelic pop, they were so freakin' on at this point.

Plus one for "jitterbug". So right!
Cream Puff War

P.N.E. Garden Auditorium
Truly fantastic indeed. You can fully hear how they ripped Caution out of Cream Puff War in the years ahead. Also: Billy is a goddamned monster on this.
Sitting on Top of the World

P.N.E. Garden Auditorium
Completely bonkers. Sounds like ten-thousand rubber pingpong balls shot through a particle accelerator.
