Not Fade Away
March 21, 1971
Exposition Center

Murky AUD and incomplete show on IA, but a blaze of fun, this one. Has an itty-bitty Mountain Jam at 1:25 for about 12 seconds.

Some rough spots coming back in, but a very interesting almost Santana-esque first jam and a great Pig groove. Interesting one.

Caution

Surprised it isn't here yet. Only one in '71 and it intensely musical and weirdly experimental. Crashes into a short feedback/tuning then a sweet UJB.

The Other One

Fox Theatre

Moves between super-charged hard rocker and an open-spaced delicate beauty. Marred by a cut, so how far did it really go? Anyone have the complete?

Soaring jam flirts with tipping into the outer void. Wild beauty with Pig on B3 gives it something extra.

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.

The Mosque

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.
