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.

Massive and powerful. Jerry and Keith are just brilliant. OK, that all from me on this great show.

Sacrilege, possibly, but this song rarely lived up to its potential. Have you tried to sing three-part harmony at this pace? It's fucking hard, and the beautiful realization on the LP was rarely achieved live. That's probably why they dropped it so soon, too. That said, this is the one that nails it. This might be one of the best ever. Very sweet.

Notable for the outrageous fantasy swampjam New Orleans Bobby feature in the middle, instead of the later-in-the-evening Pigpen rap. Nevertheless, it's a tight and right showing of who and what was the immortal '70 sound. Good stuff.

Rarity doesn't even begin to describe it. This is the hogwild swamprock you never knew but always suspected. Imagine your neighborhood garageband with 10,000 loyal followers in a superdosed lovefest on a sweet summers's day's daze. A real treat.

The first songs in the show seemed a bit sluggish, but they really take off here. This song was so goddamned good in this era, and this one is a real corker.

Show opener, apparently. It starts off kinda sleepy like, then gets heavy, but right when it reaches critical mass, it seems like Jerry moves on to the final words. Still wonderful, of course, but I wouldn't put it up there as one of the best from the era.
