“It’s polka time!” Shouts Bobby at the beginning of this one! Honored to submit this one. Absolute rager from an underrated show.

Stunning organ parts that take the song to a different level. Feels like I'm going down a lazy river without a care in the world.

Civic Arena

Horns!! Let it Grow is already on here but the Whole suite needs love. When the horns come in you can't help but smile. Pure and beautiful.

Stunning version. Sung with lots of passion, and during the solo, Jerry lets Wolf run loose and lets her howl. Great version from a great show!

Hofheinz Pavilion

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.

Pacific Coliseum

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.
