Good version sandwiched between HCS and the big jam suite...

Seems like this show needs more love around here...a few high vote-getters, but the whole thing rocks

This song is awesome in '73, and this one is no exception!

Beat it on Down The Line

I'm not always a huge fan of this song -- I don't dislike it, I just never go out of my way to listen to it -- but I love this version! Really wowed me when I was listening to this show today for the 48th anniversary.

Sometimes GDTRFB is just kind of "there" in the background for me, but this one grabbed my attention!

To me, Wharf Rat always sounds better coming out of an epic DS or TOO (as this one certainly does)...it makes you feel like you had to go on a long journey through the cosmos to stumble upon August West's dock.

They really nail the climax section on this one...nice spiralling feel and also very heavy.

Scarier than Veneta IMO. That spacey feedback section just before they slip into MAMU is downright frightening stoned, dosed or sober! Intricate, intense version from a stunning show top-to-bottom.
