Eyes Of The World
Sept. 26, 1973
War Memorial

The horn works a little less for me sixteen months later. Still give it a big thumbs up b/c the group is not really slowed down by any of it. They're in smooth-ass form.
Dancin' in the Streets
June 9, 1976
Boston Music Hall

This is some pure '76 syncopated crossword puzzle magic. Never sounded like this before or after. What a great show.
Dark Star
Aug. 21, 1968
Fillmore West

I'm with DS67 here - best 13 minute Dark Star ever. Better than many heralded longer ones, dare I say. Dare! Dare!
Eyes Of The World
May 7, 1977
Boston Garden

An almost liquid refreshment. Right around the peak of the two drummer Eyes. Smooth combustion. Complete control.
Wharf Rat
Dec. 6, 1971
Felt Forum, Madison Square Garden

Majestic. An exemplar. #alwayswantedtousethatword
