Beautiful comedown after an epic Eyes. Forgotten show or not, this is one of the best 2nd sets of the year - and that says a hell of a lot.

Let It Grow

Unique Dead with the whole horn section. In places sounds like Nigerian Juju pop from the same era (King Sunny Adé or Fela's big band). Very cool.

Sweaty funky and a little bit loose - just like the lady in the song.

Extremely beautiful version with some AUD problems. Sparkling melodicism out of the perfect collective mind. A forgotten diamond.

Impassioned version like few others, with both Jer and Keith firing on all cylinders. Terrible AUD probs keep this show unknown, but worth a listen.

Jerry's never sounded so crisp. He slashes through it like a sunlight machete.

Possible the tightest outro of all of them. Can I vote for this twice? Shieeeeeet, it just rocks.

This hits me deep in the brain. This is the sound of infinity, goodness in the cosmos, light triumphant, ecstasy. If streaming, don't bother with any copy other than Charlie Miller's.

1st version ever and its a Big Bang. All the Bertha openers throughout the years come out of this one.
