Wait a minute! Hard to figure how this one hasn't been posted yet. Very solid all 'round performance by all.

Clear, pure, and beeyootiful. The boys' voices are on, the sound well mixed, and all is well.

Tight, sweet version. Doesn't have the inferno element from some at the top, but a strong one nevertheless.

Comes in super sweetly after a short and scary TOO, like feather whispers needed to get the mind back in the body. Good trip guiding, really.

Bobby's Satan's-goina-getchya vocals add to the wild speedy visciousness of this monster.

Played a full step lower than in later years.

Jerry soloing behind Pig's lead here (and elsewhere) is too hot. Get's the sap running.

This is a perfect version: Energetic, but not cokey, clear vocals, and soaring, driven, take-control solos. I'll take this ride anytime.

Great vintage dead. Everyone was on for the show and Pig was blazing from beginning to end. Think I'll (a year later) add that around 18:00 they get into some very cool melodic inventions. Nice nice nice.
El Paso

Hollywood Palladium

Would love to hear it, but the versions of this date on the Archive with El Paso seem to be DPs, not-for-streaming. Any ideas why the different songlists for this great date?
