One of the very best early versions!!! Trippy, wild, and emotive, with Ken Babbs throwing in some "flavor"

Wild, loose and scorching Other One followed by one of the best Crypitcal reprises, maybe second only to 3/2/69

OK, so this gets pretty overshadowed by the other heavy-hitter of this show, but this That's It... suite is one of the hottest ever!

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

Dane County Coliseum

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

Assembly Hall, University of Illinois

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.
