Stella Blue
Sept. 7, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

Probably the best they'd played it to date
Let It Grow
Sept. 7, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

Killer, and killer Stella Blue, one of the best to date of that
Playin' In The Band
Sept. 7, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

Really good reading, Wolf rules over this one (although so does Phil of course)
Bird Song
Sept. 7, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

I dig this version but it's a half step behind the very best I think. Even though it's so rich (partly because of the mix) that it's one of the best ever, from 6-22 on this started to lose a little focus. Still, the Wolf does soar in many parts so it's still a great version.
Here Comes Sunshine
Sept. 7, 1973
Nassau Coliseum

Creeper--starts out sounding too laid back but Wolf starts gouging everything in sight
