Norman, Oklahoma, 8th May 1970. A few days after Kent State, and dedicated to the students who died.

(Disclaimer: This is from an audience recording that is known to be "taper friendly", so I'm putting it up, pretty sure I'm not treading on any toes, here):

Incredible. Pity the beginning and end are missing, though. But feel that solo!

    Remember in one of my Guitar World mags from years ago both Mike McCready and Trey Anastasio (and a few others) said that the huge note towards the beginning of the solo of this song (w/ the Octavia pedal I think) on Band of Gypsy's was the single greatest note ever hit (starts at 4:19)
