Exactly what I look for in an Eyes. As good as they come.

Ecstatic, exhuberent, exciting. Great end to a great set.

The Other One

Starts like a rocket, lands on Mars bigtime, then light-speed re-entry to a killer Eyes in under 10 minutes after a balls-out Truckin. Great set.

Massive Phil and Jerry co-soloing in a supersonic mindmeld for 19 minutes. Very special with a raw, almost brutish energy.

Jerry's precision fretwork all over around under and through Bobby's vocal sections make this one a favorite for me. Perfect guitar fillagree.

Wow. No like, "WOW", oh man. Mind blown, totally wow, man. Just wow.

Deeply inventive. The influence of Miles is there, along with a other "fusion" music of the time. So many places in this one, the Scarlet is just glorious in between. And yes, the outro is jump out of your chair hand-clappingly good.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Dane County Coliseum

Transition has some beautifully inventive rhythmic interplay between Jerry and Phil bridging the two songs nicely.
Truckin'
July 21, 1974
Hollywood Bowl

Kicks hard and doesn't disappoint. High energy at the top of a mind-melting 2nd set jam-a-thon.
