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.

HUGE. Colossal isn't even anywhere close to describing how gargantuan this intergalactic space beast is. Incredible.

What is about this show? It's just perfect to me and I am a very hard critic. Just perfect damnit.

Diving into Summer of 73 and finding that it might be their most dynamic and free flowing improvisational era yet. The exploration prior to 73 has led up to this truly special era of music. This is the absolute goods. Lysergic Acid Diethylamide in pure musical form. Check out this electrifying proto FOTM jam in the middle that transcends time and space. Just listen it really doesn't get better than this. Multidimensional and macrocosmic.

This is the pinnacle of Playin's. Severely and utterly under the radar. Mind altering space jams that reach the absolute apex of psychedelic jazz improvisation. Very intense magic going on here. Incredible. To quote quinn_76, woefully underrated.

Love the Love for this one. Almost any tune from this show could’ve ended up on the album. Top Shelf Dead.
