Hard-swingin' version with lots of oomph behind it. Sweet show.

A dynamite set opener, worth the ride in spite of some rough aud/soundboard patches.

Phil in good form, high energy and an epic 1st set. A must for '73 fans.

More hard rockin' than others in the tour. Stretches out a bit more too, though rough in places has great energy.

Crunchy power-vibe to this one. Doesn't quite have the floating, mesmerizing effect of some others, but instead a more hard-rocking feel. Special.

This is perfect in every way. I don't know what bug crawled up someone's ass to turn this into a way to talk smack about Pigpen, but whatevs. Pig adds a beautiful mellow and understated whooshing touch behind the perfect harmonies. There's a reason they played it together, guy.

Hearing this in it's total sequence is so mind-bendingly glorious that I can't imagine why it took me so long to get back to this one. What a goddamned triumph to what was arguably the most consistently brilliant tour of their history.

Dude420 is 100% right. This is their farewell kiss-of-weird to Europe. The band was never the same again, and here's a love letter.
