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.

Eyes Of The World

Dane County Coliseum

Sparkling, effervescent, crystal clear and overflowing with inspiration. This one soars on wings a mile long, lifts off like sparkling light dancing on the ripples on the calm, powerful, and open sea. Certainly it's one of the great beauties. Cool comments Heads: I like "This is why and how" - Thanks Wookie.

They stretch this out and really take off in the FGJ, like a chemical reaction slowly churning up, then building to a bubbling musical overflow.

The honkytonk first set is perfected here. Jerry is possessed, galloping 100 mph behind, around, above, and in-between Bobby's flawless delivery. El Paso never gets enough love... but you can tell they're just having a blast here.
Mexicali Blues

Kiel Auditorium

Follows straight out of a very western-swinging Deal and holds onto the desperado theme. Some folks find this show to be a bit too mellow, a bit slower tempo for an era filled with electrifying whirligigs, but this Mexicali shows how well they could sync together at any speed, at any energy level during this peak era.
