Piercing the dark winter cold, BDP 25 provides

the sanctuary of warm audio delights.  

Opening stanza an untouched BDP year, the

Roses and CC Rider early standouts,  a gooey

Althea preceding a similiarly strong Let It Grow

highlight the uneven first.

Second an amazing snapshot of the band in

transition, Mickey's recent departure and

Pig's decreasing contributions, with Jerry

and Phil rushing to fill the sonic voids.  The

band's play an unstoppable freight train of

energy.  Primitive versions of new material-

Loser, Bertha, Playin' (5 min), along with

the set highlight, a hammered H2H, which

display the virtues of others from April 71.

Closing sequence a Wall of Sound dreamworld,

an over the top 18 minute Truckin' melting into

Mind Left Body (was feeling you Tea)>Spanish

Jam, Garcia going alphadog for a good thirty

minutes.   Most impressive.

Music started at 9:30P, wrapped around 2:00A

with full post show silliness and the 6A

fresh donut run.  Big Fun.

 

Praise DSO.
