Ignore nay-sayers who think this show is only about the (jaw dropping) PITB and decide yourself, this version is pretty, pure and full of '72 love.

Hits that sweet spot between a shuffle and a ballad. Slight tinniness to Jer's Mike on my copy gives a nice swirling trippiness to it.

Memorial Coliseum

Tiptoes on silk spiderwebs across a silent field of pure cosmos. Won't blow you into pieces, but will free your head from this mere terrestial plane.

Memorial Coliseum

Pure mind-expanding insanity, slightly sinister and tight in its off-kilter odd-metered way. Cool organ sounds from Keith. Well-rounded May, '77 show.

I hear every word your saying brother. Sorry for your loss. Strength to you that you can still dig the song. Coke has brought a lot of pain to my circles too, but I've been able to stay away from it while still not making it into a demon. Hella great show this May 14, 1970, isn't it?

Having suffered a bout or two of the old Deep Elem Blues, I can say without hyperbole that this is exactly what they feel like. Top notch version here. Just exactly perfect.
