Short succint and distilled to its '74 essence. Plus Donna's sexiest "Ohhhhhhhhh" ever.

Sweet as honey. Holds together in perfect harmony and never drags.

Pushes against the melody: Late '71 and the song's potential is about to burst free in the months ahead. You can feel it, and it's good.

P.N.E. Coliseum

For any SoF doubters out there, this one is as convincing as they come. Everything comes together nicely, and there isn't a single downer on deck.

Faster than most. And mad funky.

A real surprise and treat after the finger blistering Dancin'. Right now becomes my favorite ever.

Swing Auditorium

In as close to a flawless show as this one, the Dancin' really stands out for its incredibly shredding good time vibe.

Woke up with Jack Straw in my mind, came here for this and BANG! Absolutely ripping version. Great stuff.

Faster than others from the era, but never rushed: Finds a really nice pocket and grooves there. High octane indeed.

Has it all. Nice to get into this whole show, not just the immortal PITB.
