Still brand new. This just pops and crackles with energy. Great fun.

Not for audiophobes, cause it's like 10th-gen Maxell 120s, but every bit the '71 CR&S sound I love. Beneath the fuzz is a beauty.

Tectonic jamming shifting out of WR back into Playin' of intricate interplay and staggering beauty.

Ripped out of future spacetime and unlike any other from the era. Sounds like they invented MIDI right on stage. Minds forever blown, I'm sure.

Don't Ease Me In
March 24, 1970
Pirates World

Show has a pretty dosed vibe: very loose and wacky in places. This 'Ease' had a kickin' rocker quality. And I'd add: who knew this sweet ole tune could kick so sweetly? Rock on guys.

So much fun. Everyone totally on. Listened to it again on a good system and really got the feel for Bobby in the mix. Check out his weird interplay around 9:00 in.

My favorite '77 show. There, I said it.

Suffers from a cut, but drops you back into a jaw droppingly beautiful jam that teases a Feeling Groovy Jam but never quite gets there (to great effect). What a year, that 1970.

Top notch. Full of that fine mercurial 1970 energy and swagger. The "yee-haw" from the crowd at the end is pretty funny, too.
