Whoa, I can't believe this hasn't been submitted. Great vocal and four minutes of sublime outro solo. Check it out!

Phil is high in the mix. One of the best '71 versions, I believe.

Not nearly the best, but this has some real charm to it, mostly because of Jerry and Phil's tender contributions.

You kinda wonder why they didn't just stop and start over. Is this mess really on the PNW box release? Unfortunate, for once Bob gets back on track, there's some good music to follow.

Well, this is was a nice surprise. If you haven't listened to this, you should.

This is the last first set DS until a couple in the 90's. If you look at the set list, it seems almost randomly jumbled. Invites comparison with the one played two weeks earlier. Edit: psychedelic cowboy music at its finest. Shout-out to Rex. One of only four DS-EP-DS events, and one other is guess what? Veneta.
