Swamp blooze. Pigpen was well on this night.

Fillmore West

Starts a bit rough, but the final solo and out chorus builds and builds into a blazing triumph.

Enter the pedal steel. Goddamned sweet sounds here. It's unfortunately cut off, but worth every precious second.

Turn On Your Love Light

Pure '70 Dead. Like the HH before, this one grows steadily up to the full berserk, rather than exploding from go. Pig/Bobby outro is immortal.

Gorgeous harmonising and soulful singing. A clean, strong version that never drags.

Pretty wickedly funky dark jams here too.

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

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.
