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.

It's almost like the crowd knew this was going to be special from their reaction as the band kicks it off. Whew! I must say, this is splendid. The energy level is so high, you can hear it carrying over into Deal, which is a jaunty fun ride itself. A number of folks have mentioned Keith on this night. Minglewood was the clue...

Has been a favorite for years. But I hadn't heard for quite some time, and I'm listening to Get Shown right now...and...what an experience for those there that night. I mean, the entire first set has to be in the top whatever of all time. Play this entire set to someone who's never heard them.

This is crazy good. Focused intensity. I also agree: this is one of the best first sets I've heard.
