length immediately raised my eyebrow and the cut is indeed deep and raw... Amazingly kicking and clawing, jer bear sermonizing

Midnight Hour

Fillmore West

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

Fillmore West

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!

classic blissy sound on this. like many early ones the latin motif building is just crazy.. the whole thing just gets at this life-affirming, organic side!! awesome
Alligator

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.

Monterey Fairgrounds

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.
