Phildown St. opener in the ginormo dome at Syrabuse. Phil makes this one groovy.

Gold Here. SUBLIME - this is where all the soft touches come together. Bob is especially deft with the underlying patterns. Phil is perfect.

I'm a sucker for China Dolls - this one has Jerry delivering very dreamy vocals on this one.

The Other One
Nov. 22, 1972
Austin Municipal Auditorium

Whole band is jazz cattin’ the shit out of this unlike any other one (ha) I’ve heard. This take is flat out groovy as fuck - not bananas at 120mph on stamps but more like 72mph on a hash buzz. Everyone showcases and Bobby’s rhythm interlude is super cool. So worth the ride!! Really cool musical conversations happening this whole show ( see China>Rider, Bird Song, PITB & He’s Gone in particular) altho I think the Candyman, Ramblin’ and Stella are both notable listens for “standard” structured songs as well.

Nice!
Good Lovin'
Dec. 23, 1970
Winterland Arena

One of a kind sounding - notable for JG's determined solo'ing with some periodic flares and overall blues busting. Worth a spin.

check out the Sing Me Back Home - top shelf country. Bonus Jerry interview to close out.
