Bobby and Jerry trade licks scorchingly! Hot!!! They continue ripping into a ridiculous China-Rider! Hot show after the death of Bob Marley.

Entire show resonates with the ghost of Marley! At once succinct and jammy!

This and the Blow Away from 8/27/72...! A lot of us wish we were there! Kesey ripped on kazoo on this one, too! Or maybe it was Keith Moon. Pretty sure..... (Though quite a few Bronx Heads were at this show.... Dagnabbit, musta been awesome!!!)

Scorching continuation of the first St. Stephen in years.... Insane is right!

Very long with a gorgeous outro-coda jam that goes on and on. One of the best ever, from a fantastic show.

Forgot how great this is, with a great jam into one of the best China Dolls ever, and eventually into that St. Stephen....

Excellent example of NFA's shift, from rip-roaring jam to the show-stopping closer it became in the 80s-90s.... Early chanters too....
