Tight and right, with beautiful jamming and solid groupthink throughout. Headphones only for archive version: HELP US ON THIS ONE CHARLIE MILLER!!!

Headphones only (sound problems), but so worth it - liquid crystal lightning Jerry jaming at it's best. Deserves many listens.

Archive copy sounds like its recorded through a tin can, but excellent groove, jam. For headphones only.

Massive and powerful. Jerry and Keith are just brilliant. OK, that all from me on this great show.

Smooth and mysterious, with lots of great slide and rhodes soloing. I always find a special trippiness to this song: Not gangbusters psychedelia, but an aqueous otherworldliness that this version captures nicely.

Brilliant and perfect Pig on this one. Apparently they opened for Chuck Berry, then played a second set after him. Any heads out there know what he thought of them and their take on his music?

Easy to overlook the '67 Dead with so many great years after. Don't make such an error, cause they're just bursting with power. Real mind-blowing work on this VLB. Enjoy.

More love needed for this sweet beauty. Elegant yet powerful - a real treat. I often wonder why such a beautiful song with obvious jam potential was mothballed for so long during some peak years. Any ideas?
