Buzzing and crackling and just a wee bit manic. Early 1st set and the party is raging. Fun and wild.

Sublime and mysterious. A beauty.

Perfect fun, with great organ work and the '70 sound. Pig says, "I'd thank you to not use no dirty words in the public" which cracks me up, too.

Fast and relentless. This one has power behind it.

Deep and dark with strong emotional jams. Lots of great Peters around this time.

Peak Bobby+Donna era. This one bubbles on smoothly, slowly kicking up the intensity until it boils over in a triumph of sweet harmony.

Sweet one, if not a little bit scrambled to start.

Catches onto a powerful pulse around 7:30 in as they head to the outro. Seems like they sped up a bit from the beginning to the end, but that might just be me.

Closes out a perfect first set. The drummers are a psychic octopus of tight grooveness, Donna sounds as good as she ever did, and Jerry floats idea after idea and kisses everyone right smack on the third eye. Just brilliant monster mash from Keith too. What fun.

Phil swoops, Donna and Keith soar, the drummers are in perfect mindmeld and Jerry does what Jerry does. This is as fun as it gets with the great Scarlet solo pieces before she met her FTM life partner.
