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.

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!

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!!!
Playin' In The Band
Aug. 12, 1972
Sacramento Memorial Auditorium
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.

Fillmore East (Late Show)
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.
