Phil is high in the mix. One of the best '71 versions, I believe.

Ramble On Rose

Bickershaw Festival

Joyful. This show continues to grow on me. A real contender for my favorite from Europe, along with May 26.

Fillmore West

Yes, why does this languish down here, whereas the music plays the band? Some really interesting things happen in the 7th or 8th minute as Jerry channels the gods. After some sustained intensity, around the 14th minute or so, Jer drops out entirely -- what? to have a smoke or drink? -- while Phil and Bobby create another space altogether. Listen, and vote.

Mercy! The tone JG gets here reminds of Peter Green's.
Good Morning Little Schoolgirl
Feb. 28, 1969

Blues-drenched solos from Pig and JG. Sweet.
Morning Dew
