Loose and loud - garage band city here! Tempo all over the road but nice and fast for the jam.

Big time bluesy show so Brent's train song fits into the night Jerry's vox is burnt but good energy this night.

Brent wakes everybody up with his B3 and then Jerr gets all sprightly on the jam - nice later one.

Jerry does some sweet bending and carving on this one - the band is in step on this one.

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.

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.
