Felt Forum - Madison Square Garden

Diesel-burnin' hard charging set opener. "Straight to number 1 in Turlock, California and that's a fact."

Playin' In The Band

Felt Forum, Madison Square Garden

Each Playin' since Keith joined seems to take one more step towards going supernova in '72. Here Jerry seems to get it in a whole new way. Excellence.

Powerful version. Show doesn't get the lvoe of the night before, but is every bit as deserving.

Some of Billy K's most amazing work behind this galloper.

Don't Ease Me In
March 24, 1970

Show has a pretty dosed vibe: very loose and wacky in places. This 'Ease' had a kickin' rocker quality. And I'd add: who knew this sweet ole tune could kick so sweetly? Rock on guys.

So much fun. Everyone totally on. Listened to it again on a good system and really got the feel for Bobby in the mix. Check out his weird interplay around 9:00 in.

My favorite '77 show. There, I said it.

Suffers from a cut, but drops you back into a jaw droppingly beautiful jam that teases a Feeling Groovy Jam but never quite gets there (to great effect). What a year, that 1970.

Top notch. Full of that fine mercurial 1970 energy and swagger. The "yee-haw" from the crowd at the end is pretty funny, too.
