Buzzing and crackling and just a wee bit manic. Early 1st set and the party is raging. Fun and wild.

Perfect fun, with great organ work and the '70 sound. Pig says, "I'd thank you to not use no dirty words in the public" which cracks me up, too.

Fast and relentless. This one has power behind it.

Deep and dark with strong emotional jams. Lots of great Peters around this time.

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+

Nice long China jam. Great version.
