Tight and right, with beautiful jamming and solid groupthink throughout. Headphones only for archive version: HELP US ON THIS ONE CHARLIE MILLER!!!

Headphones only (sound problems), but so worth it - liquid crystal lightning Jerry jaming at it's best. Deserves many listens.

Archive copy sounds like its recorded through a tin can, but excellent groove, jam. For headphones only.

The long exploratory jam out of this is a subtle beauty. This whole suite is just fantastic.

No question about it, this one takes off like a rocket. Going through Playin's evolution in '72 is such a treat. Each one at this stage is stretching out further and furthur. This one takes on a hard-biting psychedelic edge like none before it.

The emotional crescendo and rising arc of triumphant intensity on this is spectacular. The band is tight and swells as one to the muscular climax, really bringing out what's special about this composition. Needs more votes, this one.

Quite right, patchmyversion. I listened to this again on headphones and it's clearly Phil singing those beautiful harmonies. I rarely identify "favorite" versions, but this LLR is the GOAT for me. It's simply the standard I look for in all other versions.

Cgarces is right. This one has that something extra. Bobby doesn't lose control, and the band is pushing against the seems in a supercharged way that just pumps up energy in what by all estimates is one hell of a great first set.
