The tape quality is low, but the band was completely on in an historically important and beautiful show. Completists only AUD is C-, you're warned.

Undoubtedly one of the greats. Everyone is on. Bobby solos, then Jerry schools the world, then at 7:03 sounds like D. Crosby steps in like Godzilla.

Early uptempo, shitkickingly good. These first ones are all worth mentioning. This one is fast and good bluegrass.

Fast and furious acid rush here. That they could go from bluegrass sweetness to this hard rock monster in one night is testament to their huge range.

Pure version, with just the right amount of menace and swagger. A great jam here too. Check it out.

Whole show is underrated.

Absolutely sick version, with a simmering Pig rap that's got some sizzling backing work by the ghee-tars. The sneak-it-in China Cat sandwich is a cool surprise (how many times did that ever happen?), and the reprise is full throttle. Fun stuff.

Unique jam, and an atypical rap for the time.

Tragic cut about five minutes in, followed by an unlisted Big Railroad Blues. It's a pity too, because the jam is a real heater, and we have to be happy with what we got.

La Bamba jam. It's definitely there. The cool groove starting at 19:30 is a la la la la Bamba and lasts about a minute and a half. Cool stuff!
