Good version in an epic concert. One of the best bits of the first set. Second set is cosmic 73 stuff.

Good version from a very good concert. See if you can borrow this from a friend who has the complete set. The first set is cosmic

Doin' That Rag

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 ?

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