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

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

Not Fade Away

Cleveland Music Hall

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

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.

Not just a trip down memory lane, but a great demonstration of how far they'd evolved in two years after the peak TC era. It also sounds fucking great and twists and zigzags wildly and would have just been perfect to peak along to with a few thousand close friends....

Note for note perfect. May be my favourite of all time. I just keep coming back for more again and again. Love how it drops all the way down to pianissimo, just a delicate little whisper over the unmistakeable chord changes, then rises up and burns the multiverse into a smoking crater.

Most pleasing and excellent. A right hot jam.

Remarkable for how it's interwoven between everything else in this brilliant set, but simply amazing for the intense musicality and complex collective interaction during its jams.

They're still building it into what we know from '72 onward, and listening to them in sequence is a great ride. This one stands out from others of the time for exploring a slower, unfamiliar groove. Sounds a bit more like the original "Main Ten" than others in April '71. Interesting and fun.
