Big Railroad Blues

Winterland Arena

Not on the list, but hidden in an unfortunately cut Easy Wind. Tinny recording but killer, fast, and furious jamming.

Smokestack Lightnin'
Dec. 28, 1970
Legion Stadium

Soulful pure blues. This is an intimate, informal show. It ain't slick, and that's just fine.

Playin' In The Band

Allegheny College

Only 2 months old, and 22nd time: They were working hard on it, and you can hear the explosive potential. Manic warbler mode, Main 10 at the surface.

Truckin'
Dec. 28, 1970
Legion Stadium

Tight simmering burner here, with nice Bobby/Jerry mix levels. Pig on organ is a little lost, so try headphones for some fun.

Me and Bobby McGee

Legion Stadium

Starts simple and grows into a triumph. Can't help but think these meant a lot to the boys right after JJ's passing. Beautiful.

First show after the hiatus. Wish I could have been there.

Love the deep weirdness. Love the acid drenching. Love 1973. This He's Gone>Truckin>TOO>Eyes is immortal.
He's Gone

Iowa State Fairgrounds

Charlie Miller saves the day (again), and I hope the first 2/3 of this show are on his "to do" list. Count me in with the Jort Army as "Commander Crow", including the Weir(d) uniforms, just so long as our weapons stay limited to day-glo paint-filled squirtguns and ozone friendly silly-string canisters.
Here Comes Sunshine
April 2, 1973
Boston Garden

Dark Sunshine: Heads get only 12 months of this beauty (Feb. '73 to Feb. '74 before 18 years on the shelf). Every version builds and builds and this is the first to leave orbit and reach into deep space. Historical and beautiful.
Eyes Of The World
April 2, 1973
Boston Garden

Jerry, Keith and Phil's brilliant musicianship on display - can't really hear Bobby in my mix, though. This one smokes.
