Elegance defined. Some of the sweetest vocal harmonies of the era. Nailed it.

Phil and Pigpen interplay like few others I know. Brilliant and clear, with a thumping good vibe.

Show is all highlights, and NFA-GDRFB-NFA caps it in style. Listen to the whole set for full effect and feel the love.

Kesey video after 12 min. of Ollin Arrageed, worth every second: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMAKJfuP4II

Me and My Uncle

Stanley Theatre

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
Sept. 24, 1972
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.
