How is this not here?!? Shoots out of cannon at light speed (after a slooooooow '76 Wharf Rat).

China Doll always helped bring us back down. Listen to this one coming after 62+ minutes of high-powered jamming and fully comprehend its beauty.

A beauty. Jer's vocals are spot on. Gears up for a mega-epic 2nd half of the set. Listen through the hiss on the archive and enjoy.

28 minutes of groove. Playin' at its finest - but the hiss on the archive version is bad. C. Miller cleaned up part of this show - keep going sir!

Never a bad '73 version: Listen through the hiss (headphones, folks) for a diamond in the rough. Apparently a rainbow emerged during it, really.

Makes you wonder how it was knowing that the Who were on next at this show. Seems like they were driven with intensity and purpose throughout the show, maybe a kind of musical assertiveness: "You come to our turf... top that!" kind of friendly competition. Jerry also jokes in an interview at one point about how The Who were a tough act to follow at Woodstock.

Absolutely in agreement. With DP33 repackaging this show there should be a lot more attention to it! This one is just perfect, and the whole show has outrageous energy.

Sizzling and crisp, up tempo, with great vox and back up from Bobby and Donna Jean. Yep, this is a big thumbs up.

Nonoyolker's perfect comment. From note one this showcases the no-note out of place pristine musicianship that some are characterising as the '77 sound. Great high energy show here.

They just got better and better from the new debut in July, and this one tops the year (so far). Ballsy, full of swagger, lots of stank nasty on Bobby's snarl. Heaps of fun.
