Joyful chaos: A brilliant splatter. Bobby's voice never sounded so good to me as it did in '71.

Pigpen at his best with the band at its grit-in-the-gears crunchiest. They were on this night and this one is just full of butt.

Very passionate version, some distortion or tape speed issues (?) remind me of my cassette trading days and bring out the trippiness to the song.

If this hard grooving China jam and Feeling Groovy transition doesn't just get you moving, then nothing can. Just perfect.

First version ever is real nice... but listen to the soundcheck version for insight into the bands working dynamics. Cool to hear them working on it.

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?

How can you hate something you never did?

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.
