Felt Forum - Madison Square Garden

Diesel-burnin' hard charging set opener. "Straight to number 1 in Turlock, California and that's a fact."

Playin' In The Band
Dec. 6, 1971
Felt Forum, Madison Square Garden

Each Playin' since Keith joined seems to take one more step towards going supernova in '72. Here Jerry seems to get it in a whole new way. Excellence.

Powerful version. Show doesn't get the lvoe of the night before, but is every bit as deserving.

Hardly recognisable for anyone familiar with the acoustic versions, but an absolute pleasure.

Inventive, energetic and fun. A beaut from one of the great months.

"Burn down the Fillmore gas the Avalon". Did I hear Bobby right around 2:35??? To answer my own question, it appears that Bobby started this as a dig at other venues when they were co-running the Carousel. These lines don't appear on Anthem.

Shrine Auditorium

Pure, clean high-flying jam. Mind-blowing how well they played in 11/4 without spontaneously combusting. Pig's organ never sounded so much like the organ on Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone". More early traces of the Bard's influence on the boys?
Eyes Of The World
Sept. 7, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

Great 2nd set, yes, but this Eyes takes it well furthur... It's got everything - blazing, soaring and blisteringly fast. Really tops.
