Hard to Handle

Ungano's Night Club

Date overshadowed by the next night and ambiguous provenance - but don't skip it. Bobby's high in the mix with rare balance and a great jam.

Beat it on Down The Line

Ungano's Night Club

Has that blistering surf punk energy that the best early BIODTLs have. Whole show rocks, even if it may not have ever existed.

Fillmore East

Less known than the immortal Feb. 13 show, but every bit as good. They are so dailed in, just exactly perfect.

Exuberent and crisp with pumped up energy... Hmmmm?

Pig was responsible for a whole lotta new babies after this one. Turns it over and gives the ladies some instruction to go out and get it. Nice.

This one made me go, "oh damn, whoa". Blazingly brilliantly good.

They're just so in love with this song at this point and it shines through.

Nice that the archive version has the whole WRS and Let it Grow as one track. The LIG has a cool little WRS tag at the very end.

Trans out of a killer Truckin'>NFBM Jam is just a beautiful uptempo mandelbrot set of fretboard filigree.

Beautiful transition out of Truckin'.
