Honolulu Civic Auditorium

Overlooked. Fine fine Pigpen here. Warm voice, swagger and just enough whisky-soak on the sound.

Firing on all cylinders. Hot ensemble singing. Great sound.

Beautiful, tight show opener. Incomplete recording of this show on the archive. TC's last show, too.

Classic "single" version, meaning shorter and more compact than the '71 hyperspace megas.

Cuts in, but otherwise sublime. This and the night before's are almost studio-quality perfect.

I disregarded this show for too many years, and I'm not sure why now, 'cause its got the goods on every number. This Dew owns its votes. Listen and love.

It sounds like Keith has twenty fingers. Killer piano work on this uptempo jumper.

Everything about this set just kicks ass. FreedomHaul said it well.

Hadn't listened to this show on the box set yet, and sweet jeezus this PiTB got a big upgrade. Beg, borrow, or rip the box version and be amazed. Any show that kicks of with this kind of monster is going to be very good indeed. The good just gets better.

The SSDD is over-the top. Total balls-to-the-wall jam.
