Alligator>China Cat>Eleven>Alligator - speaks for itself. The only crime here is I wish the 2nd Alligator was way longer!

You can clearly hear the first part of this jam was used on Anthem of the Sun - it's out of this world!!

Longish jam starts off pretty loose with an early Thirteens from Phil, but tightens up nicely with some killer Jerry to bring it on home!

Definitely an epic jam with a sick-ass Truckin'. Underrated show too.

One of my favorite versions ever. It's so good, I don't even mind the turkey gobble sounding tape "effects".

A wonderful lilting beauty of a Bird Song. A favorite.

WOW!! Effing siiiick buildup in this jam!!!! A must hear. Segues into a sweet NBFBM with some cool Other One-ish type riffs/teases too.
