Unthinkable that such headiness be left from the lists! Stunning swagger, swooshing Phil, bril transition, mad jams.

Part of a first set that just kicks with horsepower from the 1st note. Purposeful, driving and strong. Hot stuff.

Muscular and edgy, with that amazing off-kilter propulsion unique to this song.

Sharp as a tack with lots of energy and a strong pulse. Clear they were having a great time.

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.
