Uncle John's Band
April 23, 1984
Veterans' Memorial Coliseum

The band sounds worn and fried vocally on the SBD but oddly makes it more compelling 17mins(!) - the jamming is on point.

Beautiful Jerry filigree work on this one - superfine in many ways should be waaay higher up the list imo.

It's the middle of winter - gotta stay warm with a burning,loose,dank,funky soulful Lovelight 3 votes only? wow folks are missing out on this shit kicking furnace of heat. Fine example of how this band was Pig's Band back in the day.

Golden Hall

One of the Houseboat tapes- Released as Dick’s Picks 35. Killer ‘71 action. Not shown in archives...bummer.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 14, 1981
Hartford Civic Center

Noodle city CCat with lots of extra Jerry flourishes packed in. Jerry fades on his Rider verse’s vocal but he roars back with some energetic action - worth the check out. +1. One of my faves for ‘80’s is 4/19/84 which I think burns hot, hot, hot.
