Because every song in this show deserves to be here. This is a solid rocking version, just excellent.

One of the perfect ones, and one of the last songs from this epic show to be posted here: A near perfect show from '72, one of the best.

Jer: "This is a new song... and it goes exactly like this". Pigpen: "No it don't." Either way, it kicks like the good stuff.

Shocked it isn't here yet. Did you stop at Donna's beastly howl? If you did, you missed Jerry rip spacetime. Listen up and dig this Playin', really.

"Thank's Texans" Phil sez to the NY crowd. This one is a rollicking good time. Jer is all over it behind a great Cowboy Bob showcase.

Yeah guys, this is the one for me too. Almost ready to make me some of those mythic fake accounts just to vote for it again and again.... Peace to one and all from an old head happy to see this one up here again. !!!

Compare this to the capitol theater shows just a few months earlier (I'm thinking of the amazing 24 June show), when Sugar Mag was still embryonic, and you can see just how fast the '70 concept was evolving. Sugar Mag goes from an idea to a fully formed song on the road, and by mid-September it's already this beautiful monster.

Can anyone point out another version or set when Bobby's voice sounded so good? Maybe it's the perfect mix, the warm acoustics, the intimate setting, or whatnot, but I can't think of anything that comes close to his mellow melodicism and lyrical beauty on this whole acoustic set.

I'm with you hvd on putting this up there as one of the best acoustic sets ever. Hell, this whole run is just unbelievable, but they just seem so dialed in on all levels at this show.

From the immortal Dark Star until the final "fuck" after this Love Light, this is just simply a spectacular show. Pity the acoustic set and the first half of the electric are in such rough condition.
