Best of the Fillmore East run,IMO. Sharp and clean guitar work,purposeful but still relaxed in the best early Deal tradition

1970, this is new and the boys sound so full of energy and excitement. The whole show has just been reseeded on IA, worth a listen.

Stella Blue
May 18, 1977
Fox Theatre

15 minutes of slow,wistful,thoughtful Stella Blue. Dreamy solos with a hint of echo, so the sound just swirls around. Mellow. A very fine Stella Blue.
Uncle John's Band

Capitol Theatre

Another 1970 acoustic gem from a superlatively psychedelic wonderland.
