The intro isn't much, but the outro just swells up and hits you in the head like a bag of hammers. Explosive power. Outrageous.

Massive crunching slammer. Wrongfully ignored show. Hot Cryptical outro, too.

Why is this classic and historically important show ignored? They sound great here. Enjoy.

Smokey gut-bucket blooze. Damned fine.

Great vocals and wild harmony with a sweet jam from an historically important show.

Truckin'

Almost unlistenable tape speed problems, and I'll listen to absolutely everything. Sounds like the batteries were dying, with all the slowing down and speeding up. That said, the unique jam afterwards doesn't seem to have the same problem, and is interesting, driven, and wondrously beautiful.

Beautiful description, Nonoyolker. Couldn't say it better myself.
The Other One

Winterland Arena

Unthinkably underrated heads. Get into it. Starts out a bit loose, but around the 10 minute mark tips into enormous territory. Check it out. Special shout out for Billy who, following a solo with just Phil, drives this one with liquid ferocity.

Jerry brings in that steam-whistle twang and kicks this version up nicely.
Bird Song

Winterland Arena

If you find yourself somehow soaring through time, gently banking to and fro on the slight twitch and lift of the wings of a wandering bird, passing over swirling clouds and gazing down on the beautiful land and the glorious sun as it descends into the sea, don't worry and have no fear: It's just the song in all its magic, in all its beauty, and the finest band in the land, just doing what they do.
