Wild Eleven-ish jam gives way to some really melodic, fresh takes on the Mountain jam theme. Beware of SQ though...

Extended Other One sans Cryptical repise. Ridiculously powerful!!

Pauley Pavilion - University of California

Indeed a wonderful version, one of my favorites of the year in fact.

Very fine version, but try 9/18/74 for a best-of-the-year contender.
The Music Never Stopped
March 5, 1981
Stanley Theater

Sort of a sloppy version, but they more than make up for it with an insanely ferocious jam with multiple Jerry peaks. Overall, this is one of the best I've heard.

Awesome extended version...pure rock 'n roll.
