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.

Don't Ease Me In

Show has a pretty dosed vibe: very loose and wacky in places. This 'Ease' had a kickin' rocker quality. And I'd add: who knew this sweet ole tune could kick so sweetly? Rock on guys.

So much fun. Everyone totally on. Listened to it again on a good system and really got the feel for Bobby in the mix. Check out his weird interplay around 9:00 in.

My favorite '77 show. There, I said it.

Suffers from a cut, but drops you back into a jaw droppingly beautiful jam that teases a Feeling Groovy Jam but never quite gets there (to great effect). What a year, that 1970.

Top notch. Full of that fine mercurial 1970 energy and swagger. The "yee-haw" from the crowd at the end is pretty funny, too.
