Fantastic interplay and syncopation, Jerry and Keith synergies in collective improv. Can't believe I'm the first to post this one.

Pretty wickedly funky dark jams here too.

Bobby cracks up on the last chorus with lots of subdued giggling. Great version.

An "unnameable jam" of pure creativity. Sounds in places like some of the Blues for Allah work three years later, in places like the great shows with the Allman Bros. and in others like they just dialed into and channeled waves from space. Music plays the band here.

Believe it. Everyone is fully on. The sound is perfectly mixed, the jam is souped up and full of muscle. This one goes on my top shelf. And if little itty bits of electrical noise are scaring people off this awesome show, then I'll just have to shake my head and head to the old heads' home. Come on and get up on it folks. Buy the ticket... take the ride.
