Pure mad mental, as we used to say in Scotland. WOW, they really just let rip. Good track to dance to if you need to work of some high energy

this is the best ever. beats any of the later ones and even tops the '69 classics. Superb, especially in the context of the whole show.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

This is one of the best ever shows. I mean, really, it is. I really hope that you don't believe me. Go on, now you have to go and check it out. You may well not agree,but if you enjoy really good music, you'll be glad you went.

There's 2 Attics. The first is an acoustic version. Now my favourite. The 2nd comes in an amazing DS>Attics>DS>Sugar Magnolia>DS. WOW!

surely this should be in the top all time 5. Go listen to this at once. there is a really good AUD with really clean and clear sound. Honestly, I've just downloaded the whole show. Superb acoustic 1st set as well. (see Attics of my Life). There's also a really fiery China Cat coming hard on the heels of a superb St Stephen. Man, this show is legendary all right.Here's the link https://archive.org/details/gd_nrps70-06-24.aud.pcrp5.23062.sbeok.flacf
