How is this not here?!? Shoots out of cannon at light speed (after a slooooooow '76 Wharf Rat).

China Doll always helped bring us back down. Listen to this one coming after 62+ minutes of high-powered jamming and fully comprehend its beauty.

A beauty. Jer's vocals are spot on. Gears up for a mega-epic 2nd half of the set. Listen through the hiss on the archive and enjoy.

28 minutes of groove. Playin' at its finest - but the hiss on the archive version is bad. C. Miller cleaned up part of this show - keep going sir!

Never a bad '73 version: Listen through the hiss (headphones, folks) for a diamond in the rough. Apparently a rainbow emerged during it, really.

Hey Cucamonga007! Dju know that there's a video of this show? Hell yeah, baby, you can find it on Youtube, and while not the complete show, it's pretty damned cool. Yeah, Europe '71, right on!

Is this true? Can anyone confirm? He was definitely at the show, and the only thing I'm going on is my ears, that there's a third guitar solo, different tone, and a badassed jam that needs to be heard. Anyone?

Very fine good old GD here. Fans of '70 need to hear this one if they haven't already. The piano is a bit of a mistery.

Some sources say Pigpen. Sweet version in any case.

Gets better with every single listen. The outro jam is so special. That isn't a MLB, but like some beautiful next-level of spontaneous composition that only guys who can read each others' musicminds can reach after years of doing it. Second comment on this one, but thanks for bringing it back up on the radar. Just wonderful.
