You'll hear voices and see faces in this abstract assault which showcases exceptional group interplay. Bertrando's AUD is VG+.

I always thought that Summer '74 was the best period for this tune but this version is sick.

Great version from a very good overall show.

Depending on a number of variables, there may be versions as good, but there are certainly none better. I love this playing over the opening scenes of the film 'Sunshine Daydream'. Let's hope we get Veneta released a la 'Crimson White & Indigo'.

Phil!!! This and 7/31/74 are maybe THE two MONSTER Phil versions of this tune.

The more I hear this one the better it seems to get.

Hofheinz Pavilion

The song was just emerging from the primordial slime at this point and so it is not as pleasantly plump as it would be by, say, 1977, but Jerry really sounds like a sweet Georgia peach on that solo in between the Rio Grandee choruses.
