Holy cow. Wow. Scorches. So does the Candyman. And this is followed by a beautiful Masterpiece.

First one after Brent's death. First one with Bruce being officially part of the gang. Pretty significant. Felt like we'd probably survive...

Fiery, galloping build up. Maybe this was overshadowed by the 9/19 version, but this one rips.

Viola Lee Blues
Nov. 10, 1967
Shrine Auditorium
Rip-roaring, scorching, explosive prime primal for sure. This Viola could be a notch above Harpur, much as we all love 5/2/70. The strongest tunes of 5/2/70 are the Good Lovin' and the Dancin' and the Cryptical out of the Other One (plus everything else, but...). This show has a very close Cryptical Coda too. Amazing. Ridiculous.

Scorching, blistering, wicked, searing, smoking, soaring, roaring. The adjectives are never ending. As great as any. Possibly the best. As always... Wait for it.... Takes a little while to get there..... Primal Primal.

Beautiful show. Great version.

Harpur College
Yep, so awesome. Still blows my mind that this and the Good Lovin' don't have even more votes. And the Cryptical. Sure Cryptical is really a continuation of the Other One, which has a ton of votes, but the Cryptical Coda from this show is one of the most amazing pieces of music ever in the history of this planet. Which is quite a bit of history. Covers a lot of music. And don't get me started on the Ridiculous Dancin' in the Ridiculous Streets!!!! Man. Listening to those versions of those tunes right there...... Never, ever grows old..... Good Lovin out of drums.... Mother of Pearl Onions.....
Good Lovin'

Needs a million and 8 more votes, as does the 5/2/70 Harpur Good Lovin'!!!!! (Which is still the one to beat. But man, this is close.) Once again, out of drums, the band rips the place to shreds. Ends an insanely great show. Imagine what it must have been like in the awesome Cap in Port Chester.
