Doesn't go into a cool rap, like some '71s, but pretty f-in tight jam and a great mix, with everyone sounding great.

Last one with Pig: A blasting sexy swagger with slow rising force like the Palladium one up top here. Listen past the tape problems and slow start.

As good an introduction to '71 as you'll ever hear. Someone else help me here or I'm going to list every song in this show!

Still brand new (7th ever) and it's got a lot of pump to it. This whole show is a forgotten treasure. C. Miller cleanup much improves the others.

As sweet and solid as they come: Opens a wonderful summer outdoor show in NYC. Surprised it isn't here yet.

Three part harmony on opening verse. Keith with Bobby and Jerry? Doesn't sound like Phil. Nice.

Just wonderful. Nice long smooth jamming opening up a great show. Maybe my all time favourite.

Excellent transition out of Truckin.

One of the most challenging and musically interesting TOOs ever. Starts with a great Phil solo; There are sections that sound like Jerry's MIDI work from 15 years later (!), a Phil-driven jam in 5/4 time around 08:00 and a wicked meltdown. A+
