Hot vocals from Bob. Very well played all around. A forgotten gem.

Phil's a beast from start to finish. Brent and Jerry shine on their solos.

Mexicali Blues
Dec. 12, 1973
Omni Coliseum

Bob's "Polka time, everybody!" line, solid guitar work by Jerry and Keith being there to lead us into every turn in the song. this is a great example of how focused and spot on Keith could be.

Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

Bob flubs a line, but Jerry sparkles on his short instrumentals, the second shared with a spot on Keith.
Mexicali Blues

Winterland Arena

Nice interplay between Jerry and Keith, with the only problem it being too brief.

Academy of Music

Pretty lackluster, with a vocal flub. It sure isn't played with the intensity of those Europe versions.
Mexicali Blues

Irvine Meadows

Great vocals from Bob, but what stands out is the second instrumental break. For this song, it goes on forever. There are two points where Jerry is ready to move on, but in a simple twist of fate, Bob will just not get up there and start singing and Jerry just goes on and on. Definately worth a listen.
