Charged up with energy coming out of the hot Alabama opener. They really go after this one, and makes it stand out. Great stuff!

Loads of fun! Like versions from '79, it's an interesting hybrid version - the energy of 80's versions but minus the second solo. Still kicks, though!

I always liked the late-second-set placement of Bertha in the early Brent era. This one smokes - Brent's keys are fiery and Jerry destroys the solo.

The menacing transition out of Black Peter is only matched by Bobby attacking the mic like a rabid dog. The post-drums/space of this show is killer.

Slow, haunting, and dramatic. Comes slithering out of Space like a wafting plume of smoke.

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?
