Northrop Auditorium, U. of Minn.

1st version and Keith's 1st show. Jerry's voice is clear and full of meaning and remorse. Very beautiful.

Deep Elem Blues

Studio

Unique as an electric funky blues. The only recording of it between 70 and 78 in a studio rehearsal. Pity this didn't go into rotation this way.

Historic oddity. Keith's rehearsal and three weeks before the first live version. Alternate lyrics, but fun. Some sound issues, tape wobble/speed.

Historic moment with Keith's rehearsals, so there's that. But there's also some magic here and they really bite into the groove. Some sound issues.

Totally nuts. The jam is supernova material.

Acoustic bliss and the coolest vocal outro out there.
Candyman
Dec. 26, 1970
Legion Stadium

This whole show is filled with killer '70 gems. And Bobby, Jerry and Pig seem like they were all trying to out sing the other. Rare the show with such consistent vocal excellence. And this Candyman just blows me away again and again.

Sweet and short with Bobby sounding great.

Hill Auditorium

Goes pretty far out, but never loses the intense melodicism and rhythmic driving that characterises this great show. A beauty.
