McDonough Arena - Georgetown University

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

Hard to Handle

McDonough Arena - Georgetown University

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

Not Fade Away
Oct. 17, 1970
Cleveland Music Hall

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

The Other One

Cleveland Music Hall

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.

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.
