Up tempo and forceful jamming. A strong version.

Such a sweet rare treat.

Faster than any other I know, and rip-roaringly good. Sound quality is B though (FM to mic to cassette).

Despite sound quality questions, this is a barn burner. Jerry on 'roids with muscular jamming over an inspired Billy K. Murky but hot.

Solid and strong. Keith's sound is way high in the mix, but to nice effect. Unfortunately jerry is barely audible. Could use a fix.

Peak Dead all week long, but this show (and the incomplete 25th) are just note for note perfect all round. This one is a stunner.

Not really a complete song, more like a short jam section of the NFA>GDTRFB>NFA, (same chords, same hambone, same clavé....) but very cool all the same. Very cool indeed.

Some wobbly vocals, which may be a tape speed problem (?), but a crunching, blistering solo from Jerry and a "fun-was-had-by-all" feelgood party feeling to it, warts and all.

Cucamonga's right. This is special. The whole set is one continuous jam, which after a pretty spaced-out Playin' and a looooooooooong d/s leads into this fun run through a different approach to Truckin'.

Constantly inventive, at times chaotic, at other times spontaneously melodic: a beautiful long ride with many twists and turns. Beautiful one-of-a-kind (correct me if I'm wrong guys and gals!) jam starts in around 11:20, and another one at 25:20. What a show!
