Not Fade Away

Hartford Civic Center

Brilliant double Jerry/Phil solo. Who know that NFA could be such an exploration? A blazing 2nd set tour-closer from Spring '77. What else?!?

That Bob and Jerry both get barnburning warm ups (Bertha then this) pays off throughout this immortal show. Don't just start with the 2nd set!

Playin' In The Band
Sept. 23, 1972
Palace Theater

Nice hot version. Not as tripped out as some and never melts down, but 18 minutes of fun.

Playin' In The Band
Oct. 31, 1971
Ohio Theatre

Hard blistering acid rock with the '71 country vox. 6 minutes, but with the seeds within it that would become Playin' as we know it in '72.

Uncle John's Band
Feb. 18, 1971
Capitol Theater

Energetic encore. Rolling drums and tight energy ending a brilliant show like they were ready for another set.

The Other One

Kezar Stadium

One of the best Bobby-Jerry meltdown conversations during a TOO that I know of: Helped by fine stereo panning for the different guitars and great sound.

Rising and falling (y'all) intesity and super-charged rhthymic complications make for an interesting version. Keith on Rhodes is nice and of course we've got great sound for the Kezar shows.

Badass cowboys. Go Dead!

Absolutely burning. Great improvements on the C.Miller versions. Keith's contribution really shines. Kezar gets a lot of play of course, but check out 22, 26, 28, 30 and 31 March for total Playin' headiness, some of which are arguably more interesting, tighter and more shredding than here. (Headphones only for some with sound quality issues.)
