Tons of fun - everyone's getting involved, including Keith with some nice flourishes. Jerry's solo is tight and the ending is superb.

I've always loved this song, particularly when it's uptempo and full like this version. The fire continues onto Mexicali Blues.

High energy and uptempo coming out of Mama Tried. The whole band sounds great, and Brent and Bobby provide a great rhythm section.

Great tempo and a nice friendly vibe coming out of Space. Some excellent playing by Phil. The energy continues onto Watchtower.

A fast-paced shred-fest of a Deal to close set 1. Jerry's solo can't be missed. So full of energy!

Playin' In The Band

Great version with tons of experimentation that doesn't deserve that whole essay on why it sucks. Don't like it? Fine, no problem. But don't ruin the fun for others. Let people enjoy what they want to enjoy, y'know? It's not an insult to you (nor is it a disaster) if people like this version. On a lighter note, I can't think of any PITB that gets weirder than this one. The synths and breakdowns are thrilling for fans of noise rock, and the band's playing is top-notch. I love it!

Vince is a big part of this one. I love his contributions here - he's dabbling in madness right alongside Jerry.

^ If I were to guess, the "block" and "unfollow" buttons are in the same place as the "report" and "ban" buttons. That is to say, nowhere to be found. Ah well. At least this was a good reminder to give this show another listen sometime soon. :)

^ Eew. What a weird, creepy, and totally irrelevant thing to say. Hope you reconsider writing this and delete it soon.

Love this version - one of my favorites! Man, '71 had some great ones, didn't it?
