Overlooked. Fine fine Pigpen here. Warm voice, swagger and just enough whisky-soak on the sound.

Beautiful, tight show opener. Incomplete recording of this show on the archive. TC's last show, too.

Classic "single" version, meaning shorter and more compact than the '71 hyperspace megas.

Cuts in, but otherwise sublime. This and the night before's are almost studio-quality perfect.

They're on fire right out of the gate. After a beautiful, exploratory Bird Song they close the set with this psychedelic monster. Damn, but it just grows and grows.

I always loved it when my long strange trip kicked in right about the same time they rediscovered Bird Song again. Fuck this sounds so good. Thanks boys.
