2nd one ever, and it seems like they're still getting it together. Nicely stripped down and clear vocals. Historically interesting.

Massive enthusiasm, Jerry sings himself hoarse. Brilliant, in spite of poor AUD quality.

All the inferno-intensity of the great '72s (yeah, those ones) condensced to 14min. Only reason not here is the B- AUD quality. Don't miss it!

AUD-only supernova, not for the SBD-only folks. The band is so tight, the arc or the song just exactly perfect.

Listen past the saturated AUD murk and behold a masterpiece. High energy, hitting the highlights and ending on a perfect feedback whine. Great show.

Funny culture clash after this rock-solid version. The boys tell the Danish audience they "don't have to clap like that" (in unison, which was of course a sign of appreciation, but certainly comes off a bit stiff). They then figure out that nobody can understand a word they're saying and go into one of the swingingest You Win Agains ever. Seems like a lovely good time was had by all.

A little tape speed wobble at the beginning shouldn't stop anyone. They sort it out quick. This one kicks out the barn door and charges at full speed. The show is top notch through and through.

Bobby bursts a vein on the shout chorus.

The hypersonic re-entry into the atmosphere coming out an outrageous TOO reprise simply melts into vapor and touches down with this angelic version. What a treat. A great set worth the hype.

The whole Truckin'>Drums>TOO is too beautiful for words. Don't skip the Truckin', as the set works as a whole. Phil is really understated, but leading from behind in much of this. Especially going into the FG jam.
