Fillmore East

Whether it's the 16th or 23rd, it's a killerdillerthriller. Ripping version, with a perfect transition from Truckin'.

Energy and power that struts its stuff. This show seems direly overlooked. Very nice mix and sound quality.

Beautiful jam and transition. The mix shows off Bobby nicely, which is rare for the era. His contribution is beautiful here. Enjoy.

Sultry swaggering deeply opiated vibe, with a hot harp solo. Was this Pig or Will Scarlet?

Exceptional version, slightly mellower tempo, with great harmonies and tight jamming. Surprised it's not here yet.

Don't Ease Me In
March 24, 1970
Pirates World

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.
They Love Each Other

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.
