OK - so yesterday I listened to the Springer's Inn concert from the previous night (and reviewed it). This here Saturday night show from McArthur Court is MUCH BETTER. It has some really rough / badly performed or sung songs at the beginning and here and there throughout, but the brilliant / buoyant moments lift this show to five stars (IMHO). I'll just touch on the high points. "Me and My Uncle" is good and solid.

This is a great show. I always love the Oregon shows, and this one is no different. Laid back, fun, and they always seem so relaxed and happy. So thankful to have found this entertaining gem. Hard to Handle starts off strong, with the boys really in their prime. Cold Rain and Snow was still played at breakneck speed, and there follows some wonderful banter into a Yellow Dog Story. I love this period. Young, confident, and still surging headlong into the unknown.

An Acid Test reunion show. Never trust a prankster... TIFTOO rages. A week of great Lovelights(see 5/23, 5/24 in particular, and this one). These 3 versions often explode into intense jams, including some Caution-style jams reminiscent of the 4/22/69 Lovelight. Others have highlighted the He Was A Friend Of Mine - they seemed to be playing extended versions of the song around this time with some sweet, mellow jams.
