Sweet Jerry vocals. A delicate ship setting sail into the post 1974 seas. Good harmonies from Bob and Donna. An overlooked show from an overlooked yea

This was the end of the show where the boys (excepting Pigpen) were so smashed on large quantities of acid that they barely could play(and indeed had to take a couple of hours lie down!) They bravely make a fairly good job of it, so kudos to the guys. It's actually pretty good for a '69 Cosmic .
