Playin' In The Band
Aug. 20, 1972
San Jose Civic Auditorium

A good cure for those 'No 'Cid Blues'. This one is a gem.

Morning Dew

Fox Theater

Part of the first Playin' sandwich. The transition back into Playin' is like the cops kicking your door in at 4 a.m. it is so sudden and surprising.

Turn On Your Love Light
April 5, 1971
Manhattan Center

An aural honeypot capping a dynamite show.

Dark Star
Nov. 7, 1969
Fillmore Auditorium

A breezy and pleasant intro gives way to a monstrous intra-verse portion that features some 'Uncle John's Band'-themed jamming.

Dark Star

Cleveland Public Hall

Serene, frenetic, diffuse, cluttered--in short, this one goes through more changes than David Bowie's hair. Pheatures a phleshed out 'Philo Stomp'.

They Love Each Other
Nov. 9, 1979
Memorial Auditorium

Sweet! I love the sound of that young Tiger. Lacey and dreamy solo with enough oomph, here and there, for contrast. Very nice rendition overall. Be sure to check out 4/16/78 for another version which features thrilling exploits on high-tension wires.
Ramble On Rose
July 3, 1978
St. Paul Civic Center Arena

Yup, impassioned vocals and a nice solo that rambles wonderfully through the changes.
Terrapin Station
Dec. 28, 1979
Oakland Auditorium

Fantastic and undeservedly overlooked.
The Other One
Jan. 22, 1978
McArthur Court, U of Oregon

Darkstar67: I haven't yet listened to this show! It's one of those that, like a special wine or some good bud, I'm saving for later. And it does have some company in certain other legendary shows that I'm sitting on, as well. Something to wonder about and look forward to! Anyway, it's good to see that it has yet another feather in its cap in the form of a big NFA, as the NFA from 4/22/78 is one of my personal favorites.

Check out 8/7/82 (DP 32).
