High Time

Civic Auditorium

Understated and subtle. This is a mysterious beauty. Not for the AUDphobic, it has some sound/tape issues.

Fillmore East

Don't overlook it b/c of a few tape quality issues. This is fundamental '70 Dead and Pig was in fine form.

Cumberland Blues

Fillmore East

Relentlessly pulsing at a full shitkickin' clip. A few tape speed issues, but whatta time. Excellent.

High heat, though the levels are set really low and it sounds muffled. Sounds like Pig was playing a Hammond B3 that gives it the extra horsepower.

Turn On Your Love Light

Family Dog at the Great Highway

The rap gets good and weird, and there's some funny doo-wop backup vocals around minute 17.

Pretty wickedly funky dark jams here too.

Bobby cracks up on the last chorus with lots of subdued giggling. Great version.

Paramount Theater

An "unnameable jam" of pure creativity. Sounds in places like some of the Blues for Allah work three years later, in places like the great shows with the Allman Bros. and in others like they just dialed into and channeled waves from space. Music plays the band here.

Davis Gym, Bucknell University

Believe it. Everyone is fully on. The sound is perfectly mixed, the jam is souped up and full of muscle. This one goes on my top shelf. And if little itty bits of electrical noise are scaring people off this awesome show, then I'll just have to shake my head and head to the old heads' home. Come on and get up on it folks. Buy the ticket... take the ride.
