5/4/73 homer’s warehouse: EXPRESSWAY TO YOUR HEART showcases both tickner (smoother than garcia, but right at home) & fulcher (vocalizing a whole verse at one point, but laying out most of early set). 31-minute #synth-dabbled SHE’S GOT CHARISMA > AFTER MIDNIGHT. 1st circulating version of saunders’ CHARISMA, on his new “fire up” (1 of 2 songs garcia doesn’t play on). allmansy with 2 guitars & B3 before slow, free melt. both ray charles slots in late set have big tickner & fulcher moments. [2/2]
