Fast and fun, the crowd really digging it. Great show in spite of some sound quality issues.

Gets real out fuurther and faster then into a Help-Slip preview in the jam. Great interplay between Phil and Jerry.

Rehearsal, no vocals, brilliant explorations of the song in development. Great insight into the boys' collective mind.

Hardly recognisable for anyone familiar with the acoustic versions, but an absolute pleasure.

Inventive, energetic and fun. A beaut from one of the great months.

"Burn down the Fillmore gas the Avalon". Did I hear Bobby right around 2:35??? To answer my own question, it appears that Bobby started this as a dig at other venues when they were co-running the Carousel. These lines don't appear on Anthem.

Pure, clean high-flying jam. Mind-blowing how well they played in 11/4 without spontaneously combusting. Pig's organ never sounded so much like the organ on Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone". More early traces of the Bard's influence on the boys?

Great 2nd set, yes, but this Eyes takes it well furthur... It's got everything - blazing, soaring and blisteringly fast. Really tops.
