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.

Almost a Caution jam in minute 12.

It's also a chaotic scramble, to be sure, but a beautiful one at that.

Perfect performance and at once perfectly non-sequitur and perfectly appropriate for the massive and outer-cosmos free jazz in the TOO around it. Why is MAMU their single-most performed song? Maybe because it could fit anywhere in either set, and maybe because when they were flying us through the weirdest wormhole in the outer planes of music, they could crest a wave and just hit on that cowboy groove that somehow emerges out of nothing and brings it all back down to earth (before lifting off again).

Era E's tastes are always impeccable. The only thing to add is that this first tour with Keith led to some fascinating, inventive TOOs. They explore ideas, one after another, in the space of a few minutes, in ways that seem to continue the 'new kid's' education and tryout. Here they migrate through hard acid drenched power, country blues, outer-reaches weirdness, and a teeny-tiny Feeling Groovy jam in the 8th minute, all before the first chorus. Nov. 6, 7 (especially) and 12th all share in this experimentation. It shows how TOO could be their scary, dangerously close-to-insanity rocker, but so many other things as well. Considering what we used to trade, I don't find the sound unlistenable at all, but just don't expect a clean sbd.

Starts in a fervor and hard rock fever, then hits a unique jam around the seven-minute mark including some real nice Bobby and Keith telepathic gogo. Then more phases and jams, never quite losing the 6/8 theme, revisiting it and turning it around until it charges back. Not a scary TOO, almost Dark Star-ish in its invention. Should be much much higher on the list.
