Whoa, I can't believe this hasn't been submitted. Great vocal and four minutes of sublime outro solo. Check it out!

Phil is high in the mix. One of the best '71 versions, I believe.

Eyes Of The World
July 19, 1974
Selland Arena

Middle part of the jazz fusion song cycle. What I like is Phil, and then Keith switching throughout with Fender Rhodes (on WRS mostly) and piano, and of course the Spanish Jam. What I don't like is the vocals, especially here.

It sounds like JG's guitar is out of tune on this.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Broome County Arena

All I can say is, listening to this on headphones, is very nice. The jazzy interval between the two songs is full of lots of instruments punctuating each other in the most, well, this is jazz, folks. I like. The vote count for this is surprising, to say the least.
Samson and Delilah

Broome County Arena

I'm not terribly enamored of this song (in the most general sense). Here is a commendable rendition, and as already noted, an admirable joint effort.

Well, all I can say is that if you were there that night like I was, you would have really enjoyed it.
