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.

This is very good, but what's with the mix on the RT release? The vocals in general are mixed behind too much and I think Billy's drums needed to be pushed back a bit. The vocals on this night are okay, but nothing to get too excited about.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Although this one is fine, there are some awkward bits of playing as an ensemble, and the vocals are overall fairly mediocre for a 74 China-Rider. Just to give one example, compare this to 10/17.

Gets my vote; more folks should hear it if they haven't.

Another splendid 74 Dew. Achingly beautiful finale.

You know, I could have gone to this show and experienced the amazing sequence that started with this languid but entirely enthralling ensemble work here. I bought tickets for the next two nights. Alas! Anyway, this is so sweet. Going where the wind don't blow so strange. Indeed!
