Hot soloing and '71 levels of intensity. Listenable in spite of some tape wobble and distortion. Fun to watch H2H expanding during this era.

Headphones only very rough AUD, but one of the rare electric funky Deep Elems. Historical rarity.

Pity about the C- sound quality, because a new tape of this would show us a real corker.

Final jam in an enormous show. Just killer. Follows the one NRPS set you need to hear. Whatta world.

Through the AUD fuzz and chatter comes a beautifully rendered vocal performance. Enjoy this hidden treasure.

Turn On Your Love Light

Right about the 10 minute mark this goes into some deep funk straight out of the era: Buddy Miles-ish type stuff. The funk influence on the Dead can be overlooked, but it's certainly there. Plus for a few short seconds right at the end it sounds like they almost went into a Caution jam. Hot stuff.

The boys are in perfect form here. TOO's with Phil high in the mix have that added intensity, and the whole saga: Trucking>TOO>MAMU>TOO>Wharf Rat is just full-force Philzone madness. Beautiful spaced-out jam in the middle too. Great recording allows us to hear every piece separately, with the rare fine Bobby jam segment before MAMU particularly nice.

Hot damn, its lickety-split and turns on dime after dime. What a fun song this must be to play so well.

Wow. This one goes everywhere. Prepare yourself to be blown into individual atoms, then reassembled from the electromagnetic cloud into a slightly older, wiser, and maybe just a little freaked-out version of your "self". Not a first-time-dosing kinda version, okay? You've been warned, now go at it. Oh, and as stated above, the jam is full of wonderful beauties. Enjoy.

Great pure version, as good as they come. A lot of subtlety to Jer's voice here and throughout the show.
