A laid back one. Phil's bass and Billy in the groove.

Everyone is on for this one. Great vocals, even by Donna. Why isn't this getting any love?

This is very good, but what's with the mix on the RT release? The vocals in general are mixed behind too much and I think Billy's drums needed to be pushed back a bit. The vocals on this night are okay, but nothing to get too excited about.

Although this one is fine, there are some awkward bits of playing as an ensemble, and the vocals are overall fairly mediocre for a 74 China-Rider. Just to give one example, compare this to 10/17.

Gets my vote; more folks should hear it if they haven't.

Another splendid 74 Dew. Achingly beautiful finale.

You know, I could have gone to this show and experienced the amazing sequence that started with this languid but entirely enthralling ensemble work here. I bought tickets for the next two nights. Alas! Anyway, this is so sweet. Going where the wind don't blow so strange. Indeed!
