Hard to Handle

49th Street Rock Palace

Hot soloing and '71 levels of intensity. Listenable in spite of some tape wobble and distortion. Fun to watch H2H expanding during this era.

Deep Elem Blues

Action House

Headphones only very rough AUD, but one of the rare electric funky Deep Elems. Historical rarity.

Pity about the C- sound quality, because a new tape of this would show us a real corker.

Capitol Theater

Final jam in an enormous show. Just killer. Follows the one NRPS set you need to hear. Whatta world.

Through the AUD fuzz and chatter comes a beautifully rendered vocal performance. Enjoy this hidden treasure.

Dancin' in the Streets
Dec. 1, 1966
Studio demo

Jerry's tone and ideas - he chordal jamming as opposed to his single-note lines - remind me of the work that he did with Jefferson Airplane at right about this time while recording Surrealistic Pillow. Plus, and it's a big plus, this jam goes into a whole different place from the others of the time. For a bit it's a whirling Dervish or Algerian Nouba sound before Bobby cuts back in with the vocals, then a four-on-the-floor outro. Great stuff.
Viola Lee Blues
Dec. 1, 1966
Studio demo

Definitely shows the progress they were making towards the Anthem era of deep deep psychedelic group-mind.
Cold Rain and Snow
Dec. 1, 1966
Studio demo

The dates may be dubious, but the playing isn't. This rocks. Check out Phil throwing bombs, way back in '66.
Good Morning Little Schoolgirl
Nov. 29, 1966
The Matrix

Pretty much a pimp anthem at this point. This one is dirty... and an amazing statement from '66 about where they'd go with Pig in the lead for the next five years.

The Matrix

Ultra-rarity and so much fun. What a treat.
