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.

Lovin' Jerry and Keith being on the same page.

Nice supporting instrumentals, especially from Jerry and Keith.

The mix is odd - most of the time, you can hear Pigpen and Billy really good. When it matters most, you can hear Jerry's guitar. Frustrating at times, but worth a listen.

I love you, Charlie Miller. Excellent job on what was a pretty murky board. There's one point where you can hear Pigpen playing a brief - yet explosive - organ, with Keith pounding the keys at the same time. Bob's vocals are just off the chart insane. You'll be hard pressed to find anything that is played this fast or rocks so hard. Incredible that this has never been posted by anybody.

Jerry mesmerizes.
