    Love this version. Jived up and totally raging. Almost as though they'll fall apart at the seams and spin off into separate orbits. No worries, though. Just another stroll through the park with the Airplane engines fully-throttled and revved.

    Superb performance. Furay's harmonies are excellent. No pseudo-hippie B.S. sound effect as somebody else here mentioned. Wistful and plaintive. Beautiful.

    bendbadgersteve said:

    My understanding is that much of this album was mixed by Lesh and Garcia while under the considerable influence of STP. Sounds like it too. The psychedelics used were likely real enough. The psychedelia that ensued on vinyl, though, is a rather epic and contrived fail.

      Gorman is soooo good. He just KILLS this. Whole band is on and Page is just eating it up. Helps that the guitars cover all Page's studio overdubs.

      Easily the best version of this song found on the internet. Mix is perfect. That's not unusual, though. Europe '72 was a brilliant live album.

    • bendbadgersteve said:

      A VERY worthy tribute to Buddy Miles. Stripped down band needed horns but this was very workable. Winwood is SOOO incredibly soulful. Hot solo by Clapton.

      I'll be buried with a vinyl copy of Eat A Peach. For all its greatness, MOUNTAIN JAM was that album's signature. There's mindless, pointless jamming and then there's MOUNTAIN JAM as recorded on this evening. Those boys nailed it that night and I doubt it was ever more glorious.

    • bendbadgersteve said:

      If I recall, this version was recorded live in the studio around January 1967. It was Neil's favorite but, evidently, the original acetates were lost/damaged (as can be heard here). It took some effort, I guess, restoring them to a semblance of listenability.

      I confess to mucho digging it. Th...

    Yeah. The key is too high for him these days. The other problem is tempo. Hard for the band and him to keep the restrained back-beat heard here. The song typically builds a momentum and starts surging.

    It really is an awesome song. My second fav...

      Thanks. This was sad, beautiful and important. The movie always moved me. How could it not? This version of Morning Dew from Europe '72 did the same. Again, how could it not?

      You've brought them together wonderfully...almost as they might always have been meant.

      Chills, man. Gives me chills. The lead breaks are jagged shards of glass. The band surges and fades with Whitten's rhythm playing. None of Sampedro's heavy hand. All light, cool, subtle and quick. Sheer grooviness. Epically so.

      Neil may have fought heroin addiction but he's never used the drug. A lot around him (notably Danny Whitten) but not Neil. Never dropped acid either. Reefer? Yeah. Coke? Yup. Shitload of tequila? Uh huh. No scag, horse, smack, or Big H in that ol' boy though.

    One of the truly great shows ever performed by the boys. Just totally "on". Playing was clean, controlled and restrained. This show generated the DARK STAR beautiful jam with (I believe) Wharf Rat worked into the middle as a first performance for that gem also.

      Guess I like the Younger Than Yesterday version. This is a bit more chunky and seems that Michael Clarke's drumming is a bit stiffer here. Never heard it before, though, and any Byrds is GOOD Byrds. Great guitar sound and, as usual, Hillman's bass work is stunning.
