You'll hear voices and see faces in this abstract assault which showcases exceptional group interplay. Bertrando's AUD is VG+.

Playin' In The Band

Arrowhead Stadium

The most interesting version I can think of that clocks in at under 9 minutes, and that ain't meant to disparage none of those fine '71 versions.

And great final jam, too! This one is a monster. In fact, this whole show is one fine little nugget.
Big Railroad Blues

Wembley Empire Pool

Still always the first one that comes to mind.
