"Thank's Texans" Phil sez to the NY crowd. This one is a rollicking good time. Jer is all over it behind a great Cowboy Bob showcase.

The new SBD's are crystal clear, with everyone audible. Whoever that Billy guy is could sure play some goddamned drums. He's solid gold on this one.

Charged up and triumphant. The whole week of shows before Europe is killer. Thanks go to C. Miller for the great archive versions.

Key moment in transforming PITB into a cosmic monster. 9.5 minutes of gooey goodness here. C.Miller's version is the best. Dig in boys.

The outro might be the three most intensely energetic minutes of GD music ever. The first part rocks too. Why not here yet? This show is a goldmine.

Cucamonga! Thanks for bringing me back to this show: You asked me about the Truckin' on it about NINE YEARS AGO, so sorry I took so long. But this Bertha just brings me back. Were they ever so fun in the first set as this? She bips and bops and if this doesn't get you up to dance then nothing will.

Archive is down due to some wack hackers, so only able to watch and listen to the video on YT. This version is full of joy and triumphant, but I can't help but wonder what better sound quality there might be out there. Ahhh, we're spoiled, but the archive giveth and the technodipshits taketh away.... Maybe it's time to dig out the old downloads.

Upvote for Phil's clear sweet baritone.

Tight short tweeky feedback to close out the Caution jam in top form. Everyone sounds in on it, including rare Tom. Fun stuff that sounds very freaky even now, 50+ years later.
