Unusual, long Space for the era. Fans of Feedback will enjoy this one.

The whole band creates a seamless, burbling groove. (Listen for Phil pushing through the small spaces Bobby leaves.) Mesmerizing.

The short, country-style numbers sound so good in this set. There's a lot of good music in this show even before the big jams arrive.

Today I learned that, at double speed, NFA can sound like the insanely jammed-out Minglewood that never was. Check out this version to hear what I mean. Brilliant show all around, and the AUD is pretty excellent!

Some blazin’ funky jamming here that sounds like something Pig would have rapped over a couple years earlier.

Easy upvote for the mesmerizing post-song jam, which at times sounds plucked from an extended Truckin’ > Other One transition circa ’72.
