Glorious harmonies, tight ensemble playing, and warm, emotive vocals from Jerry. Great version.

Kicks off one of the great 2nd sets of all time - surprised it isn't here. Donna and Jerry belting out the backing vocals is special.

FEEDBACK - not Space proper, but the only place for this symphony of noise closing out one of the best 2nd sets of all time.

Am I taking crazy pills, but it's not here yet? It's mostly jam, only the first verse, and wildly emotional - could have been the last one ever, too.

Don't miss this treat by selecting only the famous May shows! Bobby/Donna are in rare perfection here. Perfect harmonies and sweet vox.

Phil provides some lovely melodic soloing behind Bobby's country rambler's warble. Jerry's high backup vocals are just sweet sweetness. And I'm jealous of Traction here? You bet the hell I am but I wasn't born for another three months when this was played. You keep on listening old Head!

Cucamonga! Thanks for bringing me back to this show: You asked me about the Truckin' on it about NINE YEARS AGO, so sorry I took so long. But this Bertha just brings me back. Were they ever so fun in the first set as this? She bips and bops and if this doesn't get you up to dance then nothing will.

Archive is down due to some wack hackers, so only able to watch and listen to the video on YT. This version is full of joy and triumphant, but I can't help but wonder what better sound quality there might be out there. Ahhh, we're spoiled, but the archive giveth and the technodipshits taketh away.... Maybe it's time to dig out the old downloads.

Upvote for Phil's clear sweet baritone.
