Phill has a very unique voice. He is stellar at his backup vocals and when he sings leading vocals well...I guess you just have to love Phil. I sure as hell do!

If I am not mistaken, bill graham himself plays cowbell somewhere in this set. Amazing jam in its entirety. And a great clear mix in the recording.

I agree, this jam induces flashbacks. Barton hall is perfect, but this somehow has something very special that 5-8 doesn't. I vote it up for pure psychedelic energy that oozes out of your speakers and into your brain.

Yeah, he does that a lot. Great version!
