1970, this is new and the boys sound so full of energy and excitement. The whole show has just been reseeded on IA, worth a listen.

If you were ever trying to show someone why Jerry was truly a great guitarist-just play them this!

Phil playing lead and Jerry playing superb jazz in the back ground-what a treat.

A superb show from the boys. The Eleven is so often blistering dynamite and this one doesn't disappoint. Give it all a whirl if you can

Big shout out to jbrucer for pointing me to this version and that led me onto a whole show full of goodies. I am digging 1969 more and more. Love and Peace to all.
