Final jam here is smoking. Crowd is roaring and the whole band is on fire.

A psychedelic mind-fuck. Some racing and cool interweaving beats and solos. Really flowing and awesome version.

This is a powerful, great version. Fire find here, should've been posted long ago.

Ah shit man! This is sick, right up there with "The Phil Zone" version of 8/6. Nearly just as powerful. Jerry's solo is mind-bendingly good, and Phil perfectly climbs the fretboard raising the climax of the solo. Fucking nuts version.

They went all out during this version, off the friggin' hook. Great find, also to add this whole show is absolutely smoking, and overlooked. With the gold mine that is 1971 it is understandable that a gem like this could be passed over.

Sweet version, some slow and thoughtful solos by Jerry, does not drag, although played slowly, a very good version.

This is a genuinely awesome version.
