Absolutely stunning. Top 5 version for sure. Should be better know. Laid back with great paino from Keith.

Good version of what is often a poor song. [Added] This has become an ear-worm, and shot from being a song I skip to a version I love.

Not my favourite song, and often excruciating, but this one is good, good, good. Best I have heard. Better than Dream Bowl (where the rest of that concert is epic). This concert is epic too.

The new version on the archive is a huge improvement, and makes this whole concert worth having, except that the last two tracks, MAMU and TOYLL, are not upgraded it seems. This version means a lot, but the mpeg version has some funny WOOMPH going between left and right speaker that makes it slightly unpleasant to hear, and painful and nauseous in headphones. Can some wizard fix this ?
The Other One

Not the best ever, but very good, and a lovely intro riff from Phil

Pig's the man ! This is the one. The Dead at their best. Primal '70 Dead.
