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).

Memorial Coliseum

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

Giants Stadium

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

This one gets very heady. Phil kicking ass throughout. This whole show is pure gold.

Great performance of the whole suite with Pig on Hammond organ.
Deep Elem Blues

Winterland Arena

Best non-acoustic version for sure. In a New-Speedway-Boogie kinda way.

Sphinx Theatre

Perhaps in the top 3 highlights from the Egypt shows? Along with Iko and Ollin>FOTM?
