Keith and Donna on this are just wonderful. Strong version all around, but Keith's fillis are just outta sight.

Intensity encapsulated in the middle of a TOO jam outta this world. Here's as good an example of the cowboy psychedelicore Winter '71 as you can find.

A bit faster and carried along with a strong backbeat from Mr. K. makes this one special. Perfect ensemble singing arrangement too.

Dec '71 NFA-GDTRFB-NFAs are all powerful statements of the band's essential unity. I love how China Cat peaks out atcha during the jams.

Me and My Uncle

Glad to see this here. A hard-biting uptempo number with inspired adrenaline.

An uptempo, creative and melodic version. The outro solo ideas over the vamp are fresh and fun. Audience was in for a treat on this night....
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Palace Theatre

This is an all-round gorgeous version of both songs with creative, melodic, dance-yer-face-off jamming throughout. Could be much much higher on the chart here. Plus, as stated above, the transition from DS to China Cat is thoroughly brilliant.

Beautiful ever-changing soundscapes indeed. And then Phil nukes the world around 13:30 before going gliding into 10minute jazzospheric jam and then finally getting into the astral goo-globes and space grasshoppers with some serious string grinding and a brilliant contribution from Kieth. Wow. Just wow.

Plus excellent banter before it.
