Playin' In The Band

Auditorium Theatre

Clanging and banging in all the right ways for the '71 sound. Has so much energy packed into it you can hear how it will explode over the next year.

Very serious, beautiful and magical jam. Should be up there with the top of them. Don't miss it.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Berkeley Community Theater

Virtuoso performance, the transition builds like a speeding river as it reaches a waterfall. There's a short tape gap in Rider, though, its all good.

Smooth and blissful rocker, followed by a very funny 4-second "White Rabbit" quote and conversation in response to a wacky head in the crowd.

Snarling and ballsy, complete with a hog snort in the pause after it. Pigpen got good and greased up for this show. Fun and loose.

Jerry's never sounded so crisp. He slashes through it like a sunlight machete.

Possible the tightest outro of all of them. Can I vote for this twice? Shieeeeeet, it just rocks.

This hits me deep in the brain. This is the sound of infinity, goodness in the cosmos, light triumphant, ecstasy. If streaming, don't bother with any copy other than Charlie Miller's.
