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.

The Music Never Stopped

Giddyap goddamned, but that's 100% perfect. How had I not voted this one up yet?

How these guys could go from Martian landscapes in dissonant freeform one minute before the transition from TOO into a sweet-as-honey spontaneous joy-inducing melodic improv over the changes and then back again with such consistency is truly inspiring. This one is also just radio-play perfect on its own, there's so much energy in it and everyone is on point, plus it turns on a dime and flings you back out to space for a reprise. Should be higher on the list.

This is a must-hear for any and all psychonauts or spacerupturers whove got the proper process.... Quality speakers, the perfect consciousness enhancer (could be just some good oxygen if that's your bag, I'm not judging) and turn it on loud. Will not disappoint.
Truckin'

Absolutely sick transition into drums>TOO. Truckin' never gets all the love it needs, but this one could be a lot higher up.
Playin' In The Band

Weir: "We're going to go ahead and get weird". Oh man oh man, I do love this band. But this one is pretty mellow with modal shifts driven by Phil after a strong "Main Ten" thematic entry. It's contemplative and dream-like rather than an acid bath of space lizards going supernova.
