Crystal Ballroom

There are moments this has the standard schoolgirl 'lope', and others where it seems like the preceding Clementine bleed into the mood

Truckin'
Aug. 19, 1970
Fillmore West

Acoustic Truckin', with mystery piano player (Maybe Lagin, Nelson or the Loch Ness Monster for all I know - it just sounds great)

Good Lovin'
Nov. 6, 1970
Capitol Theater

Starts out and ends as pure spitfire, but takes the time for a slinky Main Ten in the middle.

Fillmore East

Unique little nugget of awesome - intro with Phil and Will Scarlet on harmonica. Just freaking beautiful.

Are you in the nookie bidness? Yet again, Pig needs somebody to fix his refrigerator.

Hints of St. Stephen, We Bid You, Darkness Jam...all this is missing is a generous helping of kitchen sink.
The Other One
Dec. 1, 1971
Boston Music Hall

Every time I listen to this, I end up sticky, confused, smiling, and with a 20 minute gap in my memory.

This one has soul to spare, and Lagin on clavichord-a-ma-jigger adds an interesting layer.
Box of Rain

Fillmore East

The recording sounds like you're listening to it on your neighbor's stereo, underwater, but....who cares. Goddamn, this is beautiful.

If you're listening on Archive, check the 'other copies' link - the Marty Weinberg is overall more listenable. Also, weird howler monkey noises.
