Lift off during Jerry's solo - maybe some celebratory barkers too before the show.

'71 Losers are the raw, real deal. Biting, snakey leads with a despaired vocal delivery.

Trail dusty and raw with sparky Jerry solo - hot 71 style

Love this one - delivers the midwest dust blown endless mile vibe perfectly to the frenchies. This is one of my favorite shows from that tour - professional.

Transcendent - was the word my friend used when I played this on my show today. There are great versions throughout the years but if you are a fan of this song check this out I'd like to know what you think. I got turned on in early 80's so this sound really speaks to me even though I love something about every year up until '90. When I spun this again I was blown away and feel this one's well worth a check out... as usual recommend you turn it waaay up to give it it's due. I think he chose the right word.
