Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

Marin County Veterans Auditorium

Steps out unexpectedly from an almost-aborted Miracle. Tight and right jamming.

Jerry's restatements of the melody throughout his solos are brilliant uptempo marvels.

Beacon Theatre

Beautiful, comprehensive statement of where Playin' was at in the beginning of the post-hiatus '76 sound. 20 minutes of love.

Paramount Theatre

This one's got the goods. Doesn't shred-out at the end, but tight playing, and great vocals all around.

They're on fire right out of the gate. After a beautiful, exploratory Bird Song they close the set with this psychedelic monster. Damn, but it just grows and grows.

I always loved it when my long strange trip kicked in right about the same time they rediscovered Bird Song again. Fuck this sounds so good. Thanks boys.
