Family Dog at the Great Highway

One of the definitive DS>SS>11 suites and it power rocks on its own. Young'uns: don't forget good '69...fear not and dive in!

Stretches further out than earlier ones, like the Birdsong before they seemed to find WR's deeper groove and go furthur with it. Result? Beeyootiful.

Saddle up heads, this is one of the nicest ones I know. Pre-Donna Jean, but the boys cover it with driving intensity and its nicely mixed for the era.

Nailed it. Part of the great April run that coalesces the '71 sound. Killing 1st set with manageable mix and saturation issues.

One of the tightest and best jams I've ever heard. Absolute magic. Goes straight into a killer Lovelight. This is an amazing show. Check it out.

Pity about that string. Was chuggin' along pretty standard until around minute 07:00, then then turned the burners on and bit into it hard.

This will blister your brain. Hot doesn't even begin to describe it: This is supernova.

Thanks bro! Let me know what you think. Maybe "best 1st set" would be more likely. But the Truckin' and TOO from what we have of the 2nd set are both just amazing. Enjoy!

The cruelest cut I've ever found in any show.
