Bobby and Jerry trade licks scorchingly! Hot!!! They continue ripping into a ridiculous China-Rider! Hot show after the death of Bob Marley.

Entire show resonates with the ghost of Marley! At once succinct and jammy!

Lovely!! Bobby (on the slide) starts chasing Jerry….. Jerry just picks up the pace, and Bobby does his best to keep up!!

Meadowlands Arena

And yet….. Spencer Davis’ guitar sounds a bit like Jorma!?! Lol! Very good! Crazy fun show! And yeah… With Bruce and Brent. Very very cool!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
May 19, 1974
Portland Memorial Coliseum

The bridge jam is classic ‘74, but what might set this apart from a lot of others at the time is Jerry’s “headlight roar,” which is so reminiscent of the 80s…..
Sugar Magnolia
Feb. 18, 1971
Capitol Theater

Super-charged and fantastic!! We take these Sugar Mags (and a lot of these shows!) for granted. But seriously, this is so full of vim and vigor and Pig’s keyboards are ballistic, wrapped around Jerry’s wah-wah!!! Just sitting there in the middle of a second set, with so much more high-powered rock and roll to come!!

Orpheum Theatre

Agreed. Pristine guitar and piano work from Jerry and Keith. Kinda hard to find but so amazingly sweet.
