The rippers from June are well-loved, but this version brings just as much heat. Keith and Billy having fun playing with the 3-on-2 Other One rhythm.

Part of the Dancin' sandwich. The outro jam isn't as deep as Cobo Hall two nights later, but it's certainly good enough to be listed here

"What you got to say, Vince?" Vince says it well, Jerry picks out two great solos, and Bobby's slide solo isn't awful!

Hilarious response by Phil to the "Let Phil sing" chants at the top of this show. "Make Phil sing"?

After a harsh cut @ 7:50 excising the final "got up and wandered" verse, there's a very pleasant 2:50 outro jam. Stately and grand, indeed.

Brent's piano sounds great here, and of course an inspired Jerry carries everyone's troubles away

the first minute or so is reminiscent of the first :45 of "Los Endos" by Genesis

I love the spaceouts in the middle of these late '69 versions. 11/2/69 Family Dog is great overall, but the space in this version is longer and weirder :)
