The music sounds like something you'd hear being played at a carnival.

It starts off slow, then the booogie kicks in and this one sprouts its wings and soars.

Oh, God - Bob's line before they start the tune is priceless.

Pretty guitar solo by Jerry.
Wang Dang Doodle

Madison Square Garden

Triple threat on the jams from Vince, Bruce and Jerry. This is probably the most underappreciated first set song from later years.

Nice guitar work by Jerry - slow and creepy, getting up to that peak.
Feelin' Groovy Jam

One of the reasons I don't consider myself to be a head is because they don't have a sense of humor. I post those MAMU and Mexicali as a joke. Do you really think I consider those to be among the best versions ever played? Well, there are Mexicali's from 1991 that deserve top billing but that people who are stuck in the 70's don't understand the brilliance of the Hornsby era.

I bet you also mistake Mind Left Body Jams for Dear Prudence Jams.
