Blissful dancealong. As clear a statement of what the good times feeling of the later Donna era could sound like. Nice times.

19 minutes, man it gets weird: whistles, gamelans, melodica solo, bird calls, kazoos, explosions: was every one in on the jam? Anyone remember?

Adrenaline bursting hard driver. Exciting. Jerry at 3:00 solos in all 720 degrees, just propulsive. Give her a spin.

Flawless trance-inducing NFA with a perfect transition into GDTRFB. Note for note perfect show.

Perfect. May have the best vocal harmonies of all of them. Not here because of low-level boards? Try headphones, heads.

Short but oh-so fine, after the great jam before. Check out how Pigpen sounds he's having a spiritual epiphany on this one.

Going to have to upvote this one. Not only are the Darkness and Stephen jams just hella delicious, but they come out of a superfine AWBYG-outro that just kills me. You can hear how good they felt by the NFA chaos that comes straight after.

Long, exploratory rap and great vibe. This show needs some attention, bigtime.

Deserves a clean-up, bigtime. This, and the Dew are fully epic. It isn't just the energy, which is buried there under the AUD flaws, but the communication between them as they move seamlessly across different landscapes. They're tight and balsy, kicking this one off in a way that deserves a lot more love.

Cgarces: will try to find this, but presently not on the archive and I don't have the DP version. Looking forward to it. Thanks for the tip.
