High energy, and remarkable that they could pull it off after an hour of continuous jamming. Great show all round.

In spite of equipment stalls the set really takes off here. Great Miller mix showcases Bobby in the left channel. Beautiful version.

Keith is high in the mix and it's just brilliant. The NFA was a bit sloppy, but they nail the GDTRFB and the outro.

Fast and loose, with great Keith barrelhouse fills. Jerry doesn't want to quit. Good fun.

Cream Puff War

P.N.E. Garden Auditorium

Truly fantastic indeed. You can fully hear how they ripped Caution out of Cream Puff War in the years ahead. Also: Billy is a goddamned monster on this.

Completely bonkers. Sounds like ten-thousand rubber pingpong balls shot through a particle accelerator.
Cream Puff War

Fillmore Auditorium

There's some debate about the dates and tapes in the different Archive and Setlists.net listings. Some claim that this is actually the set from 16th, but this is undoubtedly a different version than the one played on the 16th... for starters it's a full minute and a half shorter. Of the two the 16th is better in my opinion: tighter and more expansive, showing off the how they could be wild, muscular, dangerous, and virtuoso. Great to have this record of them both today. Enjoy!
Dancin' in the Streets
July 16, 1966
Fillmore Auditorium

The tension between their melody-solo-melody format on the psychedelic pop songs and their need to stretch-out the forms into longer jams is present throughout this show. The Viola Lee, the Cream Puff War, and especially this Dancin' are already going way further out.

S p e e d y indeed. The whole show has a benzedrine feeling to it.
