Smooth and slinky, beautifully sandwiched between a gorgeous High Time and a flawless He's Gone!

Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center

Murky, muddy, prowling blues crawls from an eerie China Doll.
He's Gone

Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center

Exactly. After a high energy first set, this has a totally insane coda of roaring, chanting madness.... followed by an eerie Spoonful and a surging, mellow Eyes (with a crazy Weird segue out of Spoonful) where the energy picks back up strong as they tumble into a rip roaring GDTRFB, with a nice jam into Drums.... after Space, an even eerier China Doll drifts into a very rare Baby What you Want from Brent!

Uptown Theater

One of the best stand alone Franklins (out of amazing Estimated) and it goes into a rocking, flowing, gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous jam. On the tail end of Dave's 31 extras, this whole show is excellent, as I recall...

So crazy. My buddy says he was there. Climbed a pole behind Jerry. Might have taken some of his clothes off. IDK. Says the highlight was Kesey on kazoo. Says it was a pretty hot show overall.

The whole shebang is amazing ridiculousness. One of their greatest moments.
