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.

one of the finest. that outtro jam is almost Allmaneque. the transition back into NFA is expertly executed.

Excellent, despite the vocal flubs. However, I need more cowbell.

The DaP release restores it. I have to say that this OO is not my cup of tea. For me, it gets kind of disturbing and not entertaining. I listened to the entire show on headphones and the first set is one of the best I've heard until Bertha. I'm not sure what the band was doing at the break, but I find the second set somewhat weaker. Nice piano work on Stella Blue, though. Overall, one of the best shows of 1972.

Whoa. Jerry loses it vocally. It really doesn't get better...
