Not the best recording, but Jerry vocals are just right on this version.

Bobby's voice is in top form on this tight, energetic version. The transition into NFA is flawless.

This is a tight, high enegy, version. Really about as good as this song got. You can tell the audience agreed.

Good acoustic version of this song. The audio quality isn't as good as the 05/70 versions but the playing and vocals are quite good.

From an all acoustic set. Tight harmonies on this one.

This one is a cornucopia of song quotes. The drummers are especially good ion this version.

Yes Phil was in the "Phil zone" for this one. This version is a prime example of the 68 Dead. Pure psychedelic energy and precision. You can't discount Pigs B3 playing, more aggressive and energetic then TC, who would join the band 2 months later. Good call on the Mike Lai source DS67. It's to bad that all of the vocals are on the left channel.

Just 3 days after Mickey left the band. Single kit crispness here.

^^Yes, they really deliver the goods on this one. There are so many good O1s but this one really stands out. There was something about the Fillmore East that really energized the boys!
