Long crystal clear Jerry solos throughout and a great recording for '68. Gets tighter throughout the jam.

Fast, reckless, and smokin' hot. A must have for fans of '68 and all its psychedelic glory. Goes into a nice best New Potato Caboose too.

Succinct and powerful. A nice '68 set starting (!) with Dark Star and Stephen. Mellow.

Great extended spacey jam. Check out around 05:10 - 05:40 for what sounds impossibly like a FTM tease. PHIL !

Jerry's on fire in this show opener. Not my favorite song, but just a rippin' version here. Wish I could have been there....

It's everything that's been said and more: I'd add that the group vocals are 100% on, and Pigpen is in beautiful form . This is one to come back to a couple of times in a row, study a bit closer, strap on some headphones, and whooooooooooeeeeeeeee.

As always, trust gdtrfb Era Evangelist. This one is outrageous, and the tighten up jam is without peer, and may be the most expansive and cogent one I know. In some other ideal sphere, the perfect SBD exists, but until then, thanks once again Mr. Weinberg.

The AUD is a C- but the performance is A+

First and only time played before '72, before the release of the record. Heavy emotion here. Does anyone know the date of his father's death, for whom the song was written? It's quite a sweet performance, in spite of the C- sound quality of the tape, and beyond the historical importance of the song's debut.

Possibly the best harp solo on this song ever. Pigpen tears into it like he's got you just where he wants you. Hard rock stuff this.
