Phil is high in the mix. One of the best '71 versions, I believe.

It's almost like the crowd knew this was going to be special from their reaction as the band kicks it off. Whew! I must say, this is splendid.

Has been a favorite for years. But I hadn't heard for quite some time, and I'm listening to Get Shown right now...and...what an experience for those there that night. I mean, the entire first set has to be in the top whatever of all time. Play this entire set to someone who's never heard them.
