Oct. 30, 1972
Ford Auditorium
Brilliant, crisp ideas and tight ensemble playing on a warm Bear AUD. Just exactly perfect.

One of those note-for-note perfect versions that leave you staggered and smiling. Just beautiful.

Not a song I usually get so swept up by, but on this one Jer's vocals are just perfect, capturing the sweetness and sorrow of the lyrics. A beaut.

High-powered and tight. This show has nothing but complaints about the mix on the archive. Listen to the Ashley transfer, and see what you've missed.

Veterans' Memorial Hall
Such sweet harmony, such sweet sentiment - turning on a dime after the white-hot Dew. Shows the beautiful country chops Donna at her best brought.

Overlooked. This is a brilliant version.

Keith is glorious throughout this beauty. I'll admit when I see a 14 minute Sugaree there's a part of me that says 'uh-oh, hope it doesn't drag....' But this is just pristine throughout: Hot jams, clear ideas and solos, with mindbending guitar effects that think are the first-ever for their kind. And that Godchaux fella tickling the keys. Nice one!

After two shaky songs to start the first set Bobby comes steaming in with this beauty.

Robertson Gym, UC Santa Barbara
For any era for Morning Dews this is top shelf. Drops on the heads out of nowhere, capping off a good - but not necessarily great - 2nd set.

Music to practice levitation to. Also the best damn Rat Sandwich you'll probably ever eat.
