Up tempo and forceful jamming. A strong version.

Such a sweet rare treat.

Faster than any other I know, and rip-roaringly good. Sound quality is B though (FM to mic to cassette).

Despite sound quality questions, this is a barn burner. Jerry on 'roids with muscular jamming over an inspired Billy K. Murky but hot.

Solid and strong. Keith's sound is way high in the mix, but to nice effect. Unfortunately jerry is barely audible. Could use a fix.

Bird Song

Fillmore East

Played a full step lower than in later years.

Jerry soloing behind Pig's lead here (and elsewhere) is too hot. Get's the sap running.

This is a perfect version: Energetic, but not cokey, clear vocals, and soaring, driven, take-control solos. I'll take this ride anytime.
Turn On Your Love Light

Hollywood Palladium

Great vintage dead. Everyone was on for the show and Pig was blazing from beginning to end. Think I'll (a year later) add that around 18:00 they get into some very cool melodic inventions. Nice nice nice.
El Paso

Hollywood Palladium

Would love to hear it, but the versions of this date on the Archive with El Paso seem to be DPs, not-for-streaming. Any ideas why the different songlists for this great date?
