Sounds like they had a big-rig air horns, steam whistles, small caliber rifles and martian submarines: A Symphony of Wrong. Awesome.

Outtakes from Anthem: '67 comes in hot! The transition from '66 pop is complete. B/B- sound quality though. Worth it.

Filthy. Pig's voice is very clean here. The dates are probably wrong.

Dates are debatable, but the band isn't. Brilliant insert between Schoolgirl sections.

Cuts out in the out-chorus, but shows the initial move from cover band into exploratory jams and bendy form. Very cool testament to where they were.

Makes you wonder how it was knowing that the Who were on next at this show. Seems like they were driven with intensity and purpose throughout the show, maybe a kind of musical assertiveness: "You come to our turf... top that!" kind of friendly competition. Jerry also jokes in an interview at one point about how The Who were a tough act to follow at Woodstock.

Absolutely in agreement. With DP33 repackaging this show there should be a lot more attention to it! This one is just perfect, and the whole show has outrageous energy.

Sizzling and crisp, up tempo, with great vox and back up from Bobby and Donna Jean. Yep, this is a big thumbs up.

Nonoyolker's perfect comment. From note one this showcases the no-note out of place pristine musicianship that some are characterising as the '77 sound. Great high energy show here.

They just got better and better from the new debut in July, and this one tops the year (so far). Ballsy, full of swagger, lots of stank nasty on Bobby's snarl. Heaps of fun.
