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

Stunning. Great Pigpen backing vocals ... and considering .... moving stuff. Then he rips into Hard to Handle.

Some sources say that the El Paso came from the day before. You can download that one from the archive.

Best I have heard yet. Totally blows you away, especially if you listen to it in sequence after the preceding TOO coda. I find Barton doesn't have the same emotive strength.

Hello, first post, so sorry if I get any etiquette wrong ... I think this one is better than Veneta, but neither are best as a complete package. This is the best CCS. But IKYR needs stark, bluesy treatment, not funky, jammy, jazzy work. IMO, the Jahrhundret Halle is the best IKYR, far more stark and blues-like, hard, haunting, and minimalist, even though the CCS is poor.
