Sweet rocker here.

High energy, and remarkable that they could pull it off after an hour of continuous jamming. Great show all round.

In spite of equipment stalls the set really takes off here. Great Miller mix showcases Bobby in the left channel. Beautiful version.

Keith is high in the mix and it's just brilliant. The NFA was a bit sloppy, but they nail the GDTRFB and the outro.

Fast and loose, with great Keith barrelhouse fills. Jerry doesn't want to quit. Good fun.

Good Lovin'
Dec. 10, 1971
Fox Theatre

You knew Good Lovin' could rock hard, you knew it could be a greasy sex party, but did you know they could take it so far out and back, bending it so much that you might think it was Dark Star - before Pig's rap? Now you do.

Play this without the Woodstock banter before it and you'd swear it came from the '70 or '71 country Dead (excepting TC's organ, of course). It just doesn't convulse with explosive pyschedelic power like the great ones of the Live Dead era. It is, however, a beautiful and trippy star that never quite tips over the edge. It's a nice listen and deserves a bit more love.

A fascinating DStar. At about six minutes in Bobby and Billy seem to signal a 'The Other One' vibe and they riff in 6/8 time for a few minutes before digging into deeper space. Lo and behold, this is a rare instance where the TOO actually overtakes the Dark Star, with 30 more minutes of deep Dead later on. A great show.

"What do I think" is not the right question, Heady Version. Maybe for this monster you should ask "where is your face now?" (Answer: stolen) or "how massively tripped are your balls after hearing this?" (Answer: well tripped indeed). Check it out my heady friends, this one rips.

A big station on the way towards Playin's full realization as a jam vehicle masterpiece. The magic's in there, just ready to burst. Listen to how densely packed these 10 minutes are. Seems so much more....
