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.

A GREAT show all over. Donna is in tune, The band are ALL on , high energy, Jerry's vocal flubbs and forgetting are the biggest let down. Still 4 1/2 star Deal

KEITH,KEITH,KEITH!!! The opener, Jerry forgets the words,shrugs and the band just plays. Keith is very much on fire tonight. the playing is very tight. If you can, give the whole show a whirl-great Scarlet>Fire amongst others, but Keith 's playing is very good and higher in the mix.

Should be much higher, as both songs brilliantly played. High energy, good vocals, smooth transition. By the Bye this is one hell of a show. Keith's playing is superb! see review of Casey Jones

Again Keith with that haunting, ethereal organ and jazz piano. Sharp vocals from Jerry rather than heartfelt. Beautiful tone from Bobby's guitar. Jerry's solo doesn't quite make it. 22/6;23/6/ and 28/6 all better IMO.
