Expertly rendered. Bobby provides terrific atmospheric coloration. Jerry just rocks out through the whole thing.

Beat it on Down The Line

Philadelphia Civic Arena

Zippy, choogling BIODTL with a great groove.

Space
Oct. 5, 1984
Charlotte Coliseum

More than usually haunted Space raves and knocks around before cooling a funky, colorful Other One intro.

Dupree's Diamond Blues

Charlotte Coliseum

The playing is perfect fairground calliope blues. You won’t care about the fudged lyrics or scratchy singing.

Capitol Center

Powerful ending with Phil thumping away high on the fretboard. > Drums.

Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
May 17, 1978
Uptown Theater

Fresh, rowdy, and fast. The way the band (mostly) keeps this from going off the rails is both thrilling and impressive.
It Must Have Been The Roses

Uptown Theater

Exquisitely played, and the sound of this Seamons matrix is to die for.
The Other One
Nov. 23, 1973
County Coliseum

This brain-rattling is exactly what I needed to get through a trying afternoon.
Morning Dew

Fillmore East

Volcanic eruption. Cataclysmic.
Good Lovin'
Jan. 2, 1970
Fillmore East (Late Show)

There’s a lot to love here despite the relative brevity, not least of which is that sassy late ’69 – early ’70 cowbell I can’t get enough of.
