Most rockin' version I know. The boys sound big and tight throughout this wonderful show.

Really tight and uptempo. Jerry sings through a cold, but energetic and inspired guitar work. Perfect transition into Rider.

Complex and experimental around a Stephen>Wheel sandwich. Starts and ends in wild exhuberance, but has lots of spacebugs and dinosaurs in between.

Was this the first Wheel ever? It rolls just so sweetly - not very long, but quite perfect

Very tight, uptempo and deeply grooving. Check out Seamons' matrix for right tape speed. Even Donna's contributino is solid on this one.

Acoustic bliss and the coolest vocal outro out there.

This whole show is filled with killer '70 gems. And Bobby, Jerry and Pig seem like they were all trying to out sing the other. Rare the show with such consistent vocal excellence. And this Candyman just blows me away again and again.

Sweet and short with Bobby sounding great.

Goes pretty far out, but never loses the intense melodicism and rhythmic driving that characterises this great show. A beauty.
