Concludes this lost gem of a show. The boys gave it their all on this night.

What a big sloppy, soupy mess this is, but it's interesting as all hell. I laugh out loud every time I hear Jerry butcher the Fire verses. Whatever they were taking that night, whoa.

This one is equal parts brilliant and sluggish. Certainly worth visiting on occasion, but this is about as slow as I can tolerate.

Jerry really goes for it leading up to the climax, but Phil's the MVP here.

Simply awesome. Some of the best music they ever played.

The Mosque

Another one where the myth seems to overshadow reality. Nothing really wrong here but nothing jaw-dropping either. So, its average-good, but you'll find better further down the page.
