Black Throated Wind

Dane County Coliseum

BTW at its best. This accelerates in a perfect arc from its tentative and sheepish first lines of regret walking the blue highway towards its outraged manic triumphant 180° turn. Go back and get hurt again, Bobby, do it....

Jerry's solo at 3:30 is a pristine three-chorus example of soloing over changes. Just killer, it is.

All about the reprise. This one cooks.

Powerful doesn't begin to describe it. This is the Dangerous Dead, though pretty short for the era. This is the era when the Avalon would hold them to one-hour sets and the night before they cut off the electricity, so perhaps they were reigning it in.

Starts a little unfocused, but comes out of the drum solo and transitions into Caution with blow-your-hair-back force.
