Get past murk with good headphones and you find a gem: Bobby's vox perfect, the arc powerful, Jer and Keith possessed.

Uptempo, and with a hard swagger, with a beaut of a Rio section. 2nd ever, sounds like they're still settling on the vibe.

Solid, emotional version. Bobby was on.

From blisteringly hot, into a sweet-and-light outro > OMSN, turning on a dime. Great fun.

Rip-roarin' version. The 2nd set perks up quite a bit after a sleepy 1st. Pig was still on.

Short but oh-so fine, after the great jam before. Check out how Pigpen sounds he's having a spiritual epiphany on this one.

Going to have to upvote this one. Not only are the Darkness and Stephen jams just hella delicious, but they come out of a superfine AWBYG-outro that just kills me. You can hear how good they felt by the NFA chaos that comes straight after.

Long, exploratory rap and great vibe. This show needs some attention, bigtime.

Deserves a clean-up, bigtime. This, and the Dew are fully epic. It isn't just the energy, which is buried there under the AUD flaws, but the communication between them as they move seamlessly across different landscapes. They're tight and balsy, kicking this one off in a way that deserves a lot more love.

Cgarces: will try to find this, but presently not on the archive and I don't have the DP version. Looking forward to it. Thanks for the tip.
