One of those note-for-note perfect versions that leave you staggered and smiling. Just beautiful.

Not a song I usually get so swept up by, but on this one Jer's vocals are just perfect, capturing the sweetness and sorrow of the lyrics. A beaut.

High-powered and tight. This show has nothing but complaints about the mix on the archive. Listen to the Ashley transfer, and see what you've missed.

Such sweet harmony, such sweet sentiment - turning on a dime after the white-hot Dew. Shows the beautiful country chops Donna at her best brought.

Jam starts at around 05:45, never fully forms. Am I crazy? This sounds like NFBM and it continues about 3min into TOO. Very very cool stuff here.

Love the deep weirdness. Love the acid drenching. Love 1973. This He's Gone>Truckin>TOO>Eyes is immortal.

Charlie Miller saves the day (again), and I hope the first 2/3 of this show are on his "to do" list. Count me in with the Jort Army as "Commander Crow", including the Weir(d) uniforms, just so long as our weapons stay limited to day-glo paint-filled squirtguns and ozone friendly silly-string canisters.

Dark Sunshine: Heads get only 12 months of this beauty (Feb. '73 to Feb. '74 before 18 years on the shelf). Every version builds and builds and this is the first to leave orbit and reach into deep space. Historical and beautiful.

Jerry, Keith and Phil's brilliant musicianship on display - can't really hear Bobby in my mix, though. This one smokes.
