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

This is a tremendous piece of music.

The gentle outro's interplay between Jerry and Keith is breathtaking. This is a must listen. So wonderful. And the Eyes that precedes is also.

I don't get it, I guess. I think this is a hot mess, especially in China Cat where the band seems out of sync with each other. And Rider lacks the usual energy. This show is going to get much better, though.

Man, this is good. And so is the entire show. I have the usual suspects over at the Steve Hoffman forum to thank. The mix is almost perfectly balanced, and you can really hear what Keith is doing. He really shines throughout. Another underrated show is 5/10, which was nestled between Bickershaw and Rotterdam; they were on a roll.

Keith! indeed. More like a top 5 version. Love the pace here. Included on Europe '72 vol. 2.
