Honolulu Civic Auditorium

Overlooked. Fine fine Pigpen here. Warm voice, swagger and just enough whisky-soak on the sound.

Firing on all cylinders. Hot ensemble singing. Great sound.

Beautiful, tight show opener. Incomplete recording of this show on the archive. TC's last show, too.

Classic "single" version, meaning shorter and more compact than the '71 hyperspace megas.

Oregon State University

Cuts in, but otherwise sublime. This and the night before's are almost studio-quality perfect.

Eyes Of The World
June 24, 1973
Memorial Coliseum

Starts really loose, but gets going.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Oct. 27, 1973
Indianapolis State Fair Coliseum

Crystal clear and jam-a-licious. A sparkling beauty.
Let It Grow
March 25, 1983
Compton Terrace Amphitheatre

Confirms why I'm not so into the '80s.
St. Stephen
Aug. 6, 1971
Hollywood Palladium

"Mellowish" but not mellow like the sleeeeeeeepy '76s. It still has some of the psychedelic bite from the primal years. Love love love it.
Dark Star
Oct. 25, 1973
Dane County Coliseum

I'd vote for this one twice on the MLB alone. Zo zweet.
