Good Lovin'
April 21, 1971
Rhode Island Auditorium

Insights and meditations on life love and picking up hookers from the great one. See his mind at work, jump on the wagon and ride.

Hard to Handle
April 18, 1971
Lusk Field House - State University Of New York

Overlooked gritty superfunk. Bobby solos, then Jerry takes him to school. Phil, meanwhile is nuking the world big time.

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
April 17, 1971
Dillon Gym

Subtle and musical, slithers its way into an epic Lovelight. Nicely different from others of the era, no NFA sandwich.

Hard to Handle

Davis Gym, Bucknell University

Another raging inferno. Benefits enormously from a great mix where everyone's audible and you hear Bobby's part. Hot stuff.

Paramount Theater

Carries forward the intensely creative force of the TOO before it. A glory.

Here Comes Sunshine

Brilliant soloing. Great version.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 22, 1973
Utica Memorial Auditorium

This is one of the finest China-Riders I've ever heard with a smooth transition aided by fact that they stream as one song. Utica March '73 does seem a bit underappreciated and 22 March has fast precise and exploratory playing all over its great setlist.
They Love Each Other
March 22, 1973
Utica Memorial Auditorium

Short and sweet.
Mexicali Blues
March 22, 1973
Utica Memorial Auditorium

Great version. Throw-away or not, when the boys are as tight and energetic as this, it bodes well for the rest of the show. El Paso falls in the same category, and it too is just on blazingly good during this set.
Dark Star
March 21, 1973
Utica Memorial Auditorium

Agreed - the show is underrated, maybe because so many of the jams are of an understated, cool-mellow vibe instead of being hot and fast.... Not this one, though. The meltdown in this Star is a blisteringly weird one.
