Most rockin' version I know. The boys sound big and tight throughout this wonderful show.

Really tight and uptempo. Jerry sings through a cold, but energetic and inspired guitar work. Perfect transition into Rider.

Playin' In The Band

Complex and experimental around a Stephen>Wheel sandwich. Starts and ends in wild exhuberance, but has lots of spacebugs and dinosaurs in between.

Was this the first Wheel ever? It rolls just so sweetly - not very long, but quite perfect

Very tight, uptempo and deeply grooving. Check out Seamons' matrix for right tape speed. Even Donna's contributino is solid on this one.

Has it all. This set is just outrageously perfect.

Never drifts or waddles, just lifts off and flies away on a long and beautiful journey across it all and back again.

LIG on its own is up there with the most interesting and beautiful ones ever.

First one in six years (09/1970). Very pretty and beautifully harmonised. You know, Donna gets so little love here, but listen up here and you'll hear something of what the boys heard in her.
