Keith stands out on this crystalline version. A stunning performance as the band is completely in synch with each other. Watch out for that solo too.

Lovely version with a really great Keith solo, Jerry’s solo right after is equally as moving. Don’t miss this one.

Played with a real sense of urgency. Bobby growls away as Jerry explores a new approach to his soloing. This is a scorcher.

Jerry plays away his sorrows on top of the rhythm devil’s swinging beats. Sweet as can be with some real magical energy here.

First ever in a China>Rider pairing. Makes for some wonderful music to start off this stellar show.

Impossible not to groove to this one. I love the keyboard interplay here, and Pig squeals and screams his big ol heart out. Impossible not to have a smile on your face when hearing the absolute authority Pigpen had at the time. Psychedelic Jerry solo too.

Awesome opener. Great energy with a incredibly solid groove. You can hear Mickey and Billy incredibly well on this as well. Phil actually steals the show for me as he really digs deep in the pocket and creates some really interesting rhythmic interplay between the rhythm devils. Do not neglect the 60s!
