Great stuff- this has been one of my favourite acoustic sets,Jerry in his element playing in a very small and intimate setting.Good Sunday listening.

Really cool- I love Garcias underwater guitar tone early in the 74 Playin jams,its so dreamy/trippy -it kinda sounds like electric piano..Anyways,around 20mins in,things go from jazz fusion to low down,dirty GD FUNK,i mean it- proper Starsky+Hutch tackle,sounds unique and Kreutzmanns diggin on it too.Nice poppin Scarlet+a smooth reprise make this a primo 74.Great stuff.

I love the sound of Brents Hammond organ on Playin,it adds a lot of texture.Cant say the same for the electric piano though,to me it sounds a bit plink-plinky compared to a real old fashioned piano.

Best Rat of the tour for me:Keith and Jerry already forming a tight musical bond here.Part of a sweet medley.

This is a good one- seamless transition from D/S space- the M+MU is charged with psychedelia:Pig n Keith with cool sounding fills and a Dark theme runs through an already dark tale..Back to Dark Star and KGs all over this one,another fierce E72 highlight of which there are many.(p.s. i cant find or comment on the Rheinhalle DS for some reason)The 2nd part builds to a nice rhythmic climax before melting into a cool-down-your-heels Rat...Fierce.
