Both Crypticals (the intro and the outro) are total scorchers on this night!!!!! As Bill Graham calls them at the start of this brilliant piece of music, the Last of the Gay Desperadoes were capable of being the greatest hard rock band in the world. Or as Miles Davis said, they were just a brilliant jazz band who played rock…..
