Powerful and incandescent. I’ll admit Peggy-O can sometimes bore me, but not this one!

Don't let sound quality issues prevent you from hearing this. As fresh and crisp as any of the other fine He's Gones from spring and summer.

They end up running through the “solo” section twice. Both times are as hot as you would expect for ’73.

What sounds like a momentary Let It Grow tease in Space, if you’re listening for something in particular. Powerful and pure Grateful Dead.

I love the space after the first verse vocals. Like proto-Sonic Youth. Very heady.

Nice long jam following William Tell. Phil is thunderous.

Very enjoyable '90s Playin' -- I was impressed! The whole band really is on throughout the whole thing.

I'd say Keith is the real star here. He just goes bonkers on this thing.
