High energy, and remarkable that they could pull it off after an hour of continuous jamming. Great show all round.

In spite of equipment stalls the set really takes off here. Great Miller mix showcases Bobby in the left channel. Beautiful version.

Keith is high in the mix and it's just brilliant. The NFA was a bit sloppy, but they nail the GDTRFB and the outro.

Fast and loose, with great Keith barrelhouse fills. Jerry doesn't want to quit. Good fun.

Massive electric pychedelia at its most heady.

Tight and energetic. Must I've got to admit a very strong preference for the Stephen's of this era over any other. Plus Bob can be heard saying "the funniest thing I've ever heard" right after "one man gathers what another man spills", to general merriment.

Massive early version (just 15 minutes). Check out the new C. Miller for great cleanup work.

The Pig's Hammond is all over this one.

Playin' ('72 forward) is one indicator for me of how much collective energy the boys had for exploration. That's what makes the earliest versions of the song so interesting - when it was just a song and not a ticket to Mars and back. Here Bobby sings like his life depended on it. Very cool.
