    Yeah, this show lives up to it's awesome reputation (which often isn't the case), mescaline or no mescaline. So much praise has been heaped upon "Cold Rain And Snow", "Dancin'", etc., that I feel I should make a point to mention Jerry's ballads of the evening: "Peggy O" and "Stella Blue". His singing & soloing in "Peggy O" are absolutely breathtaking, and this quality is repeated in this evening's STUNNING version of "Stella Blue".

  • ★★★★★ · On Mescaline? Or Just Simply ON? · SkyDawg · 2008

    Gotta go 5 stars on this. What a fun show and what a clean recording! I much prefer this to the Dicks Picks SBD that I bought. This is of course the show that the band were rumoured to have been tripping on mescaline. It sure sounds like it, especially the vocals on Dancing In The Street. Even if they weren't on mescaline the band was certainly ON! Great show!

  • ★★★★★ · The Fateful Dreads in '78 · joeno-martian-hwy-alumni · 2021

    Was fortunate enough to be at this amazing concert..., saw the band in Boston the year before...,didn't think they would top that performance but IMHO they sure did in set 1!Keep coming to listen to the stupendous version of Lazy Lightening/Supplication..., you can be sure that a lot of the crow were screaming along w/Bobby & Donna!!
