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.

Wharf Rat

Berkeley Community Theater

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
Aug. 15, 1971
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.

Sugaree
Aug. 15, 1971
Berkeley Community Theater

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.

Mister Charlie

Berkeley Community Theater

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.

Love the deep weirdness. Love the acid drenching. Love 1973. This He's Gone>Truckin>TOO>Eyes is immortal.
He's Gone

Charlie Miller saves the day (again), and I hope the first 2/3 of this show are on his "to do" list. Count me in with the Jort Army as "Commander Crow", including the Weir(d) uniforms, just so long as our weapons stay limited to day-glo paint-filled squirtguns and ozone friendly silly-string canisters.
Here Comes Sunshine
April 2, 1973
Boston Garden

Dark Sunshine: Heads get only 12 months of this beauty (Feb. '73 to Feb. '74 before 18 years on the shelf). Every version builds and builds and this is the first to leave orbit and reach into deep space. Historical and beautiful.
Eyes Of The World
April 2, 1973
Boston Garden

Jerry, Keith and Phil's brilliant musicianship on display - can't really hear Bobby in my mix, though. This one smokes.
