Freeborn Hall, University of California

Completely overlooked UC Davis show that exists only on an aud. But this version smokes.

Unusual (and nicely done) transition into Truckin'.

Hard to Handle
Aug. 14, 1971
Berkeley Community Theater

8/6 justly gets all the love, but don't sleep on this one. Great version from a great show.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
July 13, 1984
Greek Theatre, U. Of California

First time I heard this tape, a thousand years ago, the Scarlet-Touch transition almost caused me to crash the car. My favorite Scarlet etc. of the '80s.
Bird Song
June 22, 1973
Pacific Coliseum

I prefer it to Veneta and I prefer the aud to the soundboard, and I die on these hills.

Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

Without question. Fuses the energy of the spring '72 versions with the expanse of '73 and '74. Veneta numbers are always rated highly, sometimes absurdly so. This one is justified.
St. Stephen
June 9, 1976
Boston Music Hall

Love the long, jazzy jam. Don't remember anything like it in a post-break St. Stephen.
