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

The Matrix

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).

Memorial Coliseum

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

Giants Stadium

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

The Other One
June 18, 1974
Freedom Hall

Miles Davis-esque funky jam at around the 12:00 min mark. Love it.

Very good, but I don't see how this beats 5/7/1977.
The Other One
April 11, 1972
Newcastle City Hall

This is a fully dosed version of "The Other One." It took three gels. "Feelin' Groovy Jim" is the icing on the cake, but check out the total meltdown jam that rages before it.
They Love Each Other

Oklahoma City Fairgrounds Arena

This one is IT for me.
Touch of Grey

Madison Square Garden

This one bursts right out of the gate. Great energy, but not rushed in any way. Jerry playing Lightning Bolt and Phil in his zone. Fantastic performance.
