Been listening to this every chance I can all week. The band's so tight, Bobby's singing passionate and precise, Jer's musicality soaring. Amazing.

Exhuberent and triumphant. Closes out one hellofa 2nd set and kicks like a rocket.

Sweet and subtle: A beautiful come down after the muscular peak Eyes - but the set isn't done and they ramp it up again for more. A gem of a show.

Interrupted by bad fight in front of the stage. Phil goes bonkers, calls the security guard "Asshole". Weird scene/bad vibes.

Keith on organ just kills it. He's hot in the mix and the song has a totally different feel for it. Show overshadowed by Nov.-Dec. '73 but worth it.

Jerry pours it on. The vocals are some of his most energetic ever.

A wild ride to open the set. Jerry knocks it out of the park with his tone as metallic and sharp as it ever was. Hot version.

Very well mixed on the E72 complete set. The sound is just perfect, with every instrument ringing clear. Killer transition here. And the whole first set just rocks from minute one.

Perfect emotional arc to the lyrics, captures the essence of this song.
The Other One

Freedom Hall

Can't believe I hadn't already voted for this mega-monster. Very heavy jams and a wild edge-of-madness ride between the extraordinarily virtuoso and the random meltdown so present in the best that '74 has to offer. Sounds like Ned Lagin is sitting in for part of it? I hear wild electronica all over from about 09:00 in.
