Synth alien space into Stella Blue. Really cool effects from Bobby and Brent. Listen to this show.

Impressive soloing and unique guitar tones from Jerry and Bobby. Pure lysergic goodness. 1966 headiness.

Vince plays synth organ instead of those terrible horns. Similar to killer versions played by Bob later in Ratdog (when this song really got good).

Tight playing, excellent vocals, polished performance. Summer of '73 in Portland—who could ask for more?

Epic Shakedown. Starts with lyric flubs by Brent and Bob, but rages onward to headiness.

The middle jam is excellent.

Short, but incredibly psychedelic.

St. Stephen tease during the ending Jer solo.

Technically, far from perfect—but man, this one will kick you in the teeth. Super heavy Phil zone and blasts of energy.

Holy cow. I have heard great performances of this song before, but this one has bumped the others off the top of the leader board. Great show all around too.
