Onward to fall 76…
Enjoyed 1970 more than I’d thought.
Out of tune “everything” and constant quip issues not as prevalent as I recall lol. Suppose attitudes an antecedent to bias’?
I wasn’t too familiar with second half of the year, but there’s some top notch shite thereabouts! Inconsistency too, but that usually goes with heightened transitional periods. Shame there’s not more good recordings…
But now I’m definitely ready for something completely different, so time to hit fall 76, including the new Dave’s!
Onward!
To 8/4/76
Both kinda status quo creeper first sets, but they sneak up on ya.
Dig the jam outta MAW on the 2, sounds like headed toward miracle lol, and JG is lobbying for trucking, even a lil Nobody’s fault vibe, but Bob ain’t going there, and eventually what might of been a cool segway just drops out, but rebounds with one of those big late seventies S&Ds, nice Candyman, and cool playing/jam.
Currently, Just on the jam outta Dancin from the 4. This show really picked up steam as she goes, and my goodness, what a Help/Slip!! If nothing else, check that sometimes! Ok, let’s see how it ends…
Believe this was my BFF Jim (Wild Knights Bass maestro!) and long time buddy Sean’s first? Shit, been needing to call him lol

...bucket hanging clear to hell...

3/3/71
3/14/71
3/20/71
These were mostly good, and mostly good recordings, and you can tell they’ve morphed into that tight, song oriented band of 71, though there were inconsistencies, mainly the new, not fully absorbed material their still hashing out…
Today onto 3/21/71 at which point I’ll have hit all of 71, so will move onto fall 76 and hit what’s remaining there, including the new DaP!
Onward!

Winner winner chicken dinner!
But seriously, so glad if/when my ramblings have a positive landing!

And onto 3/3/71…
Sounds pretty good so far H2H!

Sound quality is good. I suspect that a little Plangentization/Normanization would make for a nice official release.

The China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider is on the Long Strange Trip Movie Soundtrack - Amazon Exclusive Expanded vinyl release.

Oro wins Deadhead of the Month for turning me on to 8/19/70

Extremely hot show I don't recall ever hearing mentioned

Do yourself a favor and listen

It gets really hot 🔥

Frank Zappa quote

Plenty good shows

I am at 12/27/70 Midnight Hour

I have never heard 8/19/70, Oro

Archive, here I come

12 27 is in the car, you see, and....blah blah blah

These El Monte shows are kinda under the radar good, perhaps not quite as tight and energetic after a long year of very eclectic and often superb shows as some, which is understandable, but mostly good shows and nice recordings.

Yeah PF, 8/18 is pretty cool, 19 perhaps even better?

EDIT: might as well hit last few I missed from 71…
Starting with 1/21 (poor audio, chick doesn’t shut up lol), and 1/22/71, more low fidelity…the 24 I’ve heard via Doc…

Banana boxes shows
