Gut bucket blues. Pure danger from Blue Ron. Hard to figure why this ain't already here.

One of those versions where it sounds like every note is just the embodiment of perfection.

Uncle John's Band

Boston Music Hall

Shredding solo over the 7/4 section and lots of dark power here, though there are some mix issues and maybe some tape speed wobble. Clean versions?

The Other One

Pauley Pavilion

Totally overlooked: An intricate, mercurial, and explosive monster masterwork. Overshadowed by but totally different from the enormous 12/02.

Playin' In The Band
Aug. 6, 1971
Hollywood Palladium

Playin' in 2nd half of '71 shows the seeds of evolution toward the epic it would become in the next year. This one is tight and cool. Good version.
Hard to Handle
Aug. 6, 1971
Hollywood Palladium

When Pig Dead hits your mind give this one the time. No brakes, no hesitation, no regrets. Oh - and one of Jerry's all time best blues solos too.

Winterland Arena

As epic as they come.

Fillmore East
