It's hard for this song to be bad, and this one is far from it...it really smokes for the last 1/3 or so

Right on...definitely takes an adjustment, but this set pays off big time...I sprung it on a deadhead friend, and he loved it. Definitely gives the "being there" feeling, peaking with the crowd and all that...

Not sure...must have a mislabeled cd. But whichever version, it does smoke.

Nothing like it...1971 is inimitable.

This one has to be higher...it's downright shameful...the pure psychedelia oozes out of every corner
