Spanish Jam
A bit overlooked for summer '74, this version is one of the very best. Jerry's cool tone has a lot of bite!

Scarlet Begonias
Everything's perfect and beautiful in this one. Can we just say "All Scarlets from Summer '74 are epically heady", cause I don't know a bad one.

Nobody's Fault But Mine
A seamless sweet groove - into a very cool TOO. This show doesn't get enough love - all Summer '74 is hot, but this is a real corker.

The Other One

U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)

Cumberland Blues
Underrated version from '74,really together,well sung and great picking from Jerry. I'm really taking to this show,well worth a listen to it all.

Let It Grow
Absolute best of 1974. Not kidding. Jerry's leads are ripping & confident. The band plays flawlessly.Can stand w/some of the best of '77. Must hear.

El Paso
The rippers from June are well-loved, but this version brings just as much heat. Keith and Billy having fun playing with the 3-on-2 Other One rhythm.
