Any '74 version of this tune is a treat. Incredibly lovely with great Keith lines. Billy sways.

Definitive for its time. The soundcheck gave us a preview, here's the full thing. Solid version.

Just a damn near perfect performance. Shocked not to see this one submitted. One of MANY highlights from this show.

Stupidly heavy, shades of early heavy metal on this one. Incredible controlled chaos that explores so much. A very tight version.

Phil joyously expresses himself on this. A gun shot is heard on this one signaling a jam, and the William Tell Bridge is really well played. Excellent

Right up there with 10/12/68 for me. This is a living thing, and the start of a particularly intense psychedelic experience.

This is an instense, very serious ride. Tread lightly, heavy lysergic pantheonic jamming. Seriously though, I’m freaking out, this is next level good.

Jerry is in full combat with the lion. GREAT GOD ALMIGHTY TALK TO ME!!!

It’s Keith time baby. I wish Keith was always this high in the mix because, wow. This is the soundtrack to the Apocalypse. Around the 9:40 mark Keith is literally proving right then and there that telepathy is real. His intuitive nature pushes the band into very malevolent chaotic realms and shoots you right into the heart of a dying star. This is really the first Playin’ out of Europe that seems like it’s finally developing a new sound. Chaos Magik in sound.

Encapsulates the free spirited nature of the band during this time. Jerry is feeling particularly loose possibly because of Lucy, and the solo in particular feels lysergic too. Awesome version from a very awesome show.
