Rollicking and hard-charging good time set closer after a brain-melting Playin'.

San Antonio Civic Auditorium

In spite of muffled sound in need of a cleanup, this one has all the swagger and triumph of the best of '72. BTW fans take heed!

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Dallas Memorial Auditorium

Surprised not to see this here. The trans has extra oomph to it and the band sails along in perfect sync. Great fun.

Dallas Memorial Auditorium

Pristine and fun. There's a cogent, almost album-tight quality to it.

Loser

Austin Municipal Auditorium

The mix is off at first, vocals lost, but hang in there and you'll hear one of Jerry's most heavy metal solos on Loser ever. Absolute shredder.

Hard to Handle
Nov. 11, 1970
49th Street Rock Palace

45 years ago today... just noticed that. Loooove the archive/time machine. Peace, friends, and give a thought to our veteran brothers and sisters out there today.
Deep Elem Blues
Sept. 30, 1971
Studio

If you like this, then check out 09 November 1970. In spite of being a very rough AUD, it does show off the electric funky Elem.
Walking the Dog

Action House

C- AUD quality for completists only.
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Nov. 8, 1970
Capitol Theater

Mountain Jam "discussed" between 06:40 and approx 07:30. Right there on the surface, just blistering to come out in the open. This is a perfect show all around.
Dark Star
Nov. 8, 1970
Capitol Theater

Everything said supra: pre-verse is possibly the prettiest Dark Star out there. The verse sung beautifully. The crowd is keyed in - listen to the whole run and this show to know just how rowdy and aggressive they were - and coalesces around the hyperspace jump into the post-verse exploration by hushing the lone doubter. What comes next is mind-ripping and hard; don't use this to convince your dead-doubting partner to get on the bus. But then light. The darkness clears and we're home free... A Main Ten brings order back to the spacial consciousness. All this in 16 minutes of music.
