Nice early electric version. Always preferred this key for Dire Wolf compared to when they changed it in the later years. Just right. Nice version.

Takes you right to Chicago. Jerry’s playing emulates the blues greats. Hard rocking version that reminds me of a Junior Wells cut. Highly recommend.

Haunting organ playing. Crystalline and psychedelic early version that feels very spacey. Great vocal delivery.

Very nice solo from Jerry. Phil is all over this as well, some great melodic bass playing that compliments the song very well.

These early 70s Jack Straws have so much Charm. Silky smooth rendition full of grace and wonderful joyous interplay. Surprised this isn’t here yet.

Glorious China>Rider. Keith tears the house down as you can feel the entire band catching on to this wave of energy. So good.

HUGE. Colossal isn't even anywhere close to describing how gargantuan this intergalactic space beast is. Incredible.

What is about this show? It's just perfect to me and I am a very hard critic. Just perfect damnit.

Diving into Summer of 73 and finding that it might be their most dynamic and free flowing improvisational era yet. The exploration prior to 73 has led up to this truly special era of music. This is the absolute goods. Lysergic Acid Diethylamide in pure musical form. Check out this electrifying proto FOTM jam in the middle that transcends time and space. Just listen it really doesn't get better than this. Multidimensional and macrocosmic.
