Beautiful harmonies and country soul. Brilliant and historically important show.

Playin' In The Band

First performance ever and it's slower, but beautiful and raw. Bobby sings like a country warbler typical of the '71s. Historically interesting.

Greatest Story Ever Told

Capitol Theater

Primordial version, first time played, introduced as "Mickey wants to call this one 'The Pump Man' for reasons of his own." Raw and unlike any other.

Capitol Theater

First Loser ever and the last Mickey show before his break. Brilliant version, hot energetic vocals and that good '71 sound.

Dripping with deep-soul. Pigpen's voice at its best. Sounds like honey.

Wonderful theme and variation in that build up.

One of the most under-rated songs on their Great Jam Vehicles list. Seems like they were always innovating with it. I love how they start tweaking the tempo several times - a sure sign they were just itching to take things furthur out with it.

Love the rare acoustic MAMUs.

The Feedback after is perfectly symphonic. I'm never sure where to vote for Feedback, as it doesn't really fit in "Space" and it was certainly it's own section after different jams in '68-'71. Ideas?
