Metropolitan Sports Center

The SBD I scooped had a Wang Dang Doodle-ish soundcheck that came with it. Some pretty slinky shit. Worth checking if you can track it down

Massive version! Was spinning on the treadmill at the gym and felt like I was going to run through the wall. Serious way to open a show!

Not Fade Away

Adams Field House, U of Montana

Definitely cranks. Some muddy buttsweat gully funk treats, doled out in abun-dance. Lesh sounds F'n GORGEOUS on the new SBD release
China Doll

Adams Field House, U of Montana

Could turn any steely exterior into an emotive pile of love goo
Black Throated Wind
May 14, 1974
Adams Field House, U of Montana

Nice, mellow version. It doesn't have the explosive Bobby chaw at the end, but it comes together well for a pleasant finish
Loser

Adams Field House, U of Montana

Good call on Keith with the B3 - you can really hear it more clearly on the new SBDs. Definitely gives it an eerie feel
