Playin' In The Band
Aug. 20, 1972
San Jose Civic Auditorium

A good cure for those 'No 'Cid Blues'. This one is a gem.

Fox Theater

Part of the first Playin' sandwich. The transition back into Playin' is like the cops kicking your door in at 4 a.m. it is so sudden and surprising.

Turn On Your Love Light
April 5, 1971
Manhattan Center

An aural honeypot capping a dynamite show.

Dark Star
Nov. 7, 1969
Fillmore Auditorium

A breezy and pleasant intro gives way to a monstrous intra-verse portion that features some 'Uncle John's Band'-themed jamming.

Dark Star
Oct. 28, 1972
Cleveland Public Hall

Serene, frenetic, diffuse, cluttered--in short, this one goes through more changes than David Bowie's hair. Pheatures a phleshed out 'Philo Stomp'.

Yup, 'Without a Net' proves that a compilation live release can be a great thing.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

Well worth hearing. Includes the 'Feelin' Groovy'-themed segue jam and they pull it off very well, as 'Feelin Groovy' segues can run the risk of sagging momentum. This whole show is worth checking out.

Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

In an era of dark supergiants this one comes in as a dwarf, of sorts, but packs a lot in--although it is mostly gentle. Check it out!

Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

Nice tight version from a great show all-around.
Playin' In The Band
Feb. 15, 1973
Dane County Coliseum

This show is an embarrassment of riches!
