Playin' In The Band

Strand Lyceum

Everything from 5/23-5/26 is heady to me...check the mellow vibe that settles in around the 8:00 mark. Followed by some nice Jerry messin' around.

Calm, clean, clear and expansive: this is what space sounds like to me.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Musikhalle

Rider is draggy/borderline asleep, but China Cat deserves to be listed. Only song left out from this fine Europe '72 sleeper?

^...nice choices beatboy! those guys all had a real "walkin' the bar" soulful and raunchy sound that would go great with some Pig! I'd add to that Jimmy Forrest, Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, Willis "Gator Jackson...

every time i hear this show it's better and better; goes from really good to great to exceptional, not the least of the reasons being the strength of the "smaller" songs (this one, you win again, greatest story, looks like rain, etc.)- also the killer jams (especially that truckin'!)

I love when Jerry really gets into his vocals. So much fun.

Why so low? Perfect, intense, passionate version from an amazing second set and phenomenal show!
