Rip roaring out of Uncle John's Band and after a high octane 2nd set, how else to finish?

Best of the Fillmore East run,IMO. Sharp and clean guitar work,purposeful but still relaxed in the best early Deal tradition

1970, this is new and the boys sound so full of energy and excitement. The whole show has just been reseeded on IA, worth a listen.

Just watching this on You Tube and it's so wonderful. Lovely to see Jerry well and in his prime, sweetly jamming with Donna. very jazzy, very sweet. Go run and see!
He's Gone

Stanley Theatre

Can't be beat. I think it's really hard to judge the He's Gone from this period, Starting in the August shows, through September. even trying to pick the best of the 3 nights at the Stanley is impossible! Listen to them all. Phil's bass playing is remarkable. The outro jams all so yummy. I do love this song.
Chinatown Shuffle

Olympia Theater

Top rate, 100% Rock and roll. listen to Keith's playing,but the whole band is spot on...Then one of THE BEST EVER China Cat >Riders ever.

Great version from a very good show that lives in the shadow of the night before. Still a spectacular 3 night run at the Stanley Theatre in a year of brilliant shows, no brilliant TOURS!
