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

Based on set list alone, the jam portion stands out...this Terrapin kicks it off very powerfully

Right on...definitely takes an adjustment, but this set pays off big time...I sprung it on a deadhead friend, and he loved it. Definitely gives the "being there" feeling, peaking with the crowd and all that...

Not sure...must have a mislabeled cd. But whichever version, it does smoke.

Felt Forum, Madison Square Garden

Nothing like it...1971 is inimitable.

Right on about the "light-hearted" individuals. They never got further out of the atmosphere than right here.

This one has to be higher...it's downright shameful...the pure psychedelia oozes out of every corner
