Tender, soothing, perfect. Brimming with firecracker... jerry rips a mean fret-flyer or two

down to business in the mines of emotion. Tight and incredible. A gem of a intuitive version with lots of rootsy charisma and swingin' euphoria..

Slow and serious. Mickey is masterful as is the overall tone control.Solo could have had more satisfying crescendo, fun lowkey set 1 vibe

jazzy preachy San Fran, playing is so groovin', drifting on a reed, wavy gravy day!
Turn On Your Love Light

With death dont this excellent fillmore west show shows a pivot from aggressive fist pumping jam, badgering the cosmos down to a rootsier vibe, epitomized by this electrifying love light! pig takes over and the jibes and whiplashes come with a biker's encouraging pat! Jerry is sharp as a tack through this whole classic set!

something in thee air on this. Drums and feedback escapades weaved into this defiantly wanderlustrous Alligator. trusting the character of the music they have a dialogue with it from the inside for stolen along ears to heare. Slithering and sizzling funky country avant goodness.

the good pranksters transcend a lineup spot that ensured being forgotten in the ol' history bookeths. Flamboyantly chill and mesmerizing playing, less than 2 years into their existence the thing was very much honed, aesthetically precise and yet all-encompassing for so much more in the years down the way.
