A triumphant, anthemic version that shows another, powerful side to it. Great piano work gives it a nice flavor.

Just transcendentally perfect. The whole set from Cryptical on is monumental '71 headiness.

About here Playin' starts stretching out. Only 7 min long, but there's a lot of charge here: Listen to all of them thinking "let's take this furthur".

A little more love for the early ones? A strong and powerful version that never loses focus. Beautiful.

Bristling hot show opener shows how they meant business. Dec. '71 is special transition time and this one pins you to the wall with energy.

Churning and swirling, it grows and grows like a dynamo wheelspinner.

The AUD patch at the beginning doesn't remove one iota of this version's enormous musicality and brilliance. Towards the end it sounds like everyone is playing in a different time signature yet moving forward with the grace, fun and bounce specific to the song's unique pulse. Wonderful.

Inventive and flowing with perfect ensemble mindflow. Never gets old. One of the great greats.

Fuckin' double posts. I'm sorry. But really young heads dig deep into the good old GD on this one.
