Sounds like it could have been a top 40 CW chart topper. Something clean and pure about it - maybe one drummer helps on this tune.

Crystal clear sound and tight show opener in this hot hot pre-Europe run. The vocals are on and the transition rocks.

Super-strengthed version with a solid, driving pulse. They took their vitamins this day: The whole show's has that bursting-at-seams energy.

Insane explosive blowout for the set-closer. Caps an excellent first set with extraordinary energy.

Not as face-melting as December 02, but has great energy and beautiful jamming.

Great all around show. One of my faves.

Horton Field House - Illinois State University

Bobby and Donna are having so much fun. I'm not one to comment on Donna, but wow, she just sounds great here and adds a lot. (!) Out of sight jam too.

I always thought of MLB as the jam that morphed into The Music Never Stopped around the pause in '75, and it's loud and clear here. Nice version, but too short!

Captures the dark cosmic chaos. Emotional, heavy. The forces tear loose from their axis, indeed.
