Overlooked. Fine fine Pigpen here. Warm voice, swagger and just enough whisky-soak on the sound.

Firing on all cylinders. Hot ensemble singing. Great sound.

Beautiful, tight show opener. Incomplete recording of this show on the archive. TC's last show, too.

Classic "single" version, meaning shorter and more compact than the '71 hyperspace megas.

Cuts in, but otherwise sublime. This and the night before's are almost studio-quality perfect.

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.
