An extensive, long strange trip. Hot in places, then trippy and spaced out. Fast. Phil and Jerry in total unity.

I can't stop listening to this version to me it's near 2-27-69 in its intensitudeness....

From an overlooked show, this version absolutely kills. Insane jamming by all members, a must listen.

If you listen to this in the car, Donna will break your windshield. + a Super 20 min jam

Amazingly hot; Jerry and Keith kick things up a notch about halfway thru the jam and it never lets up!

Sometimes shorter is better. At around 10 mins. this beauty from E'72 packs the jazz, jam, passion. Like a more intense version of the one on ACE!

28
Mellow in places, shredding in others, goes in and out of off-the-rails trippyness but doesn't meltdown. Why isn't this one already here?

Absolutely crazy Playing In The Band.

Both more nuanced and multi-textured than your typical PITB jam. Great stuff!!!
