Hard to Handle

49th Street Rock Palace

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

Action House

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.

Capitol Theater

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.

Eyes Of The World
June 9, 1976
Boston Music Hall

Any doubt at the time that Mickey coming back was for the good must have quickly evaporated. The Devils just kill it here with their incredible energy and groupmind. Great solos, my favorite Eyes from '76.
Crazy Fingers

Orpheum Theatre

Comes up from the side and pulls you out of your body up somewhere near those cloud hands he's singing about. One of the Dead's greatest compositions played here to beautiful effect.
Playin' In The Band
Feb. 24, 1974
Winterland Arena

Magnificent musicality throughout. Jerry and Keith at about 11:00 go into some wild modal extraterritoriality. It does exactly what I loved about PITB as a 1st set closer, transforming the show from a set of (great) songs into the long, the strange, and the beautiful.

Winterland Arena

Really really beautiful. Who's that on the smokey backup vocals?
Terrapin Station
May 17, 1977
Memorial Coliseum

Matter of taste, but this one never fully lifts off for me. Much prefer 22 Jan. '78 for serious face meltage.
