Listen past the saturated AUD murk and behold a masterpiece. High energy, hitting the highlights and ending on a perfect feedback whine. Great show.

Man, they're having a blast. Totally firing on all cylinders, and clipping along at 90mph. Great stuff.

Solid rockin' version with a cruisin' pulse and tight ensemble playing at high energy.

Back from Europe with all the polish and power of a masterpiece: They've perfected the arc and emotional nuance. Miller cleanup is best (duh).

Gets pretty hard rock in places. This whole show, actually, has a high voltage rock vibe unlike all others on the tour. Underrated show all round.

Cucamonga! Thanks for bringing me back to this show: You asked me about the Truckin' on it about NINE YEARS AGO, so sorry I took so long. But this Bertha just brings me back. Were they ever so fun in the first set as this? She bips and bops and if this doesn't get you up to dance then nothing will.

Archive is down due to some wack hackers, so only able to watch and listen to the video on YT. This version is full of joy and triumphant, but I can't help but wonder what better sound quality there might be out there. Ahhh, we're spoiled, but the archive giveth and the technodipshits taketh away.... Maybe it's time to dig out the old downloads.

Upvote for Phil's clear sweet baritone.

Tight short tweeky feedback to close out the Caution jam in top form. Everyone sounds in on it, including rare Tom. Fun stuff that sounds very freaky even now, 50+ years later.
