Gut bucket blues. Pure danger from Blue Ron. Hard to figure why this ain't already here.

One of those versions where it sounds like every note is just the embodiment of perfection.

Shredding solo over the 7/4 section and lots of dark power here, though there are some mix issues and maybe some tape speed wobble. Clean versions?

The Other One

Pauley Pavilion

Totally overlooked: An intricate, mercurial, and explosive monster masterwork. Overshadowed by but totally different from the enormous 12/02.

A great DS in the middle of a a stellar 2nd set. So kind to your mind! One of my favourite's shows from 1972, often overlooked coming after the well-known (and brilliant) August shows.

This is my go-to Playin' when I need weirdness.
