The new SBD's are crystal clear, with everyone audible. Whoever that Billy guy is could sure play some goddamned drums. He's solid gold on this one.

Charged up and triumphant. The whole week of shows before Europe is killer. Thanks go to C. Miller for the great archive versions.

Key moment in transforming PITB into a cosmic monster. 9.5 minutes of gooey goodness here. C.Miller's version is the best. Dig in boys.

Thanks for the tip Grendel. Mr. Charlie earns yet another star for fixing one of the biggest buzzkills of '73. Enough has been said about this show, but daaaaaaaaaaamn if it didn't just get better.
