Fun, tight version with great energy and tight vocals. Fun stuff.

Begins sounding like the epic hard charging beast it becomes over the next months.

Not Fade Away

The NFA>GDTRFB>NFA sequence in its infancy: 3rd time played, and remarkably smooth and perfect transitions with exuberant jamming.

Super-charged hard rocker here. Hits all the 1970 highlights, with power and precision: a white knuckler. Tape is rough AUD, w/ C. Miller cleanup.

One of Pig's best: Perfect vox, great harp solo. Jerry too. Some tape issues, but thanx Mr. Miller... thanks a lot.

Don't Ease Me In

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.
