Totally overlooked show, but blazing hot and extraordinary jams. Everything here that make '73 what it is.

Mellow accoustic goodness - sweet and evocative. The whole set is 1970 amazingnessiosity at its headiest.

Playing down to their last allowed second, the boys squeeze a tight (top-40 levels) hard rockin' version. Killer end to a great little show.

Hey Cucamonga007! Dju know that there's a video of this show? Hell yeah, baby, you can find it on Youtube, and while not the complete show, it's pretty damned cool. Yeah, Europe '71, right on!

Is this true? Can anyone confirm? He was definitely at the show, and the only thing I'm going on is my ears, that there's a third guitar solo, different tone, and a badassed jam that needs to be heard. Anyone?

Very fine good old GD here. Fans of '70 need to hear this one if they haven't already. The piano is a bit of a mistery.

Some sources say Pigpen. Sweet version in any case.

Gets better with every single listen. The outro jam is so special. That isn't a MLB, but like some beautiful next-level of spontaneous composition that only guys who can read each others' musicminds can reach after years of doing it. Second comment on this one, but thanks for bringing it back up on the radar. Just wonderful.
