Elegance defined. Some of the sweetest vocal harmonies of the era. Nailed it.

Phil and Pigpen interplay like few others I know. Brilliant and clear, with a thumping good vibe.

Show is all highlights, and NFA-GDRFB-NFA caps it in style. Listen to the whole set for full effect and feel the love.

Kesey video after 12 min. of Ollin Arrageed, worth every second: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMAKJfuP4II

Holy smokes! They took their vitamins today. Catch 'em if you can or get out of the way. Roller coaster version.

Here Comes Sunshine
Nov. 14, 1973
San Diego International Sports Arena

Brings the love on strong and thick. Second round of soloing is pretty mega Though they aren't quite as tight as other versions coming out of the jam, I still keep this on my ever-expanding list of "top shelf" '73 shows.
Here Comes Sunshine

Kiel Auditorium

Zen-like spacious "hot mellow" like the best of '73. Opening the show like this must have told the heads in attendance, "Gear up boys and girls, we're on tonight...."
Hard to Handle
Aug. 4, 1971
Terminal Island Correctional Facility

Solid rocker.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 2, 1977
Paramount Theatre

Beautiful with a tight jam that scratches the Scarlet Itch. Sounds like Keith on an early celeste program for synth or MOOG at beginning of FTM. Anyone know what rig he was playing?
Let It Grow

Paramount Theatre

Big LIG fan here, who generally prefers the '73 sound to the speedy late '70s and '80s vibe, but this one knocks it out of the park. Totally blazing.
