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.

A beautiful performance.

Alpine Valley Music Theatre

Low Phil in the mix, as per usual in '82, but his massive bombs roar through. Probably the most energetic performance I've heard.

Jerry's solos will take you on a trip to heaven.
Ramble On Rose

Madison Square Garden

This is one of the only MIDI version of this song that I enjoy.

Portland Memorial Coliseum

The "Big River" following this is needed to pull you back down to earth after hearing this.
