A laid back one. Phil's bass and Billy in the groove.

Everyone is on for this one. Great vocals, even by Donna. Why isn't this getting any love?

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
Fillmore West

Blues-drenched solos from Pig and JG. Sweet.
Morning Dew
Sept. 10, 1974
Alexandra Palace

Should be in the top 5.
