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.

Deliberate is a good term for it. After a speedy and scattered Let it Grow (Bobby's chews up the lyrics), Jerry takes over the transition and somehow both spins higher and higher, while bring the band together, slows, them down, catches a breath, and lands on this intensely focused Wharf Rat,

But dude, if you believe Bobby when he tells you it's someone's birthday, I've got a bridge to sell you! That's some Prankster voodoo trickery, man.
