It's to bad that the audio quality is so bad on this one. the playing and vocal harmonies are on the money.

The steel guitar, which I assume Jerry is playing, really helps to make this early version a good 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!
