A barnburner, charged up and powerful. Nice clear musical ideas throughout the jam.

Playin' In The Band

Onondaga War Memorial

Like 10.23 this has a burning, agressive quality and hard-driving pulse that gives it huge horsepower. Playin's eternal metamorphosis on display here.

Jerry's soloing throughout this one is fantastic, precise and rockin'.

Nice version, band kicks into gear and sounds great, ironing out a few kinks in the mix earlier in the set. Early Keith show = dynamite stuff.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Easttown Theatre

Overlooked. No peace-and-love version, this is rock and freaking roll. The transition to Ryder is pure shredding genius.

Acoustic bliss and the coolest vocal outro out there.
Candyman
Dec. 26, 1970
Legion Stadium

This whole show is filled with killer '70 gems. And Bobby, Jerry and Pig seem like they were all trying to out sing the other. Rare the show with such consistent vocal excellence. And this Candyman just blows me away again and again.

I dig. Damn. Hot stuff.

Sweet and short with Bobby sounding great.

Hill Auditorium

Goes pretty far out, but never loses the intense melodicism and rhythmic driving that characterises this great show. A beauty.
