To my ears, Bob's best overall performance here, and the whole band really seems to be feeding off the same special energy

Quite possibly vastly underrated...Keith's work is magnificent, and he is obviously feeling it from the start in this show

Indeed. I've always noticed that line but never thought anything of it...just another reason why that show is soooo great...even the oddities are divine

Very emotional performance, too, with Kent state and all that fun stuff 2 days before...the boys played this impromptu set on a cold day for MIT protestors
