I really can't believe no one has submitted this show. Ethereal playing. Stunning sound quality. Start at "Me & My Uncle" and don't stop, trust me..

Ethereal second set opener. I can't believe no one has listed this awesome version from an EPIC show!! Vocals are heart-wrenching.. Sound is perfect.

Wow, thanks for pointing that out... Pigpen had SOUL. Great version, every bit as good as April 14th ... the Europe '72 tour was truly something else
