Synth alien space into Stella Blue. Really cool effects from Bobby and Brent. Listen to this show.

Impressive soloing and unique guitar tones from Jerry and Bobby. Pure lysergic goodness. 1966 headiness.

Vince plays synth organ instead of those terrible horns. Similar to killer versions played by Bob later in Ratdog (when this song really got good).

Tight playing, excellent vocals, polished performance. Summer of '73 in Portland—who could ask for more?

Epic Shakedown. Starts with lyric flubs by Brent and Bob, but rages onward to headiness.

Not as good as Two from the Vault (8/24), but definitely a top Eleven. No Pigpen on organ, Bobby is a bit muffled in the mix, and the transitions are not as silky smooth, but the energy of this performance makes up for it.

Check out Bobby's playing throughout this show, especially here. Little mellow fills.

Insane transition into the final verse (catch the Phil buzz bomb).

I judge my Miracles by how fucked up Jerry sounds in the backing vocals. This one wins.

Ohhh yeah. They were still lit as hell on the Gaza shows. Don't let anyone tell you different.
