Early formulation. Very raw, almost demo-like.

Finale of a hard rocking post-space second set. Played with passion. Definitely Heady

Lovely, sweet vocals. Clear as a bell and with just the perfect amount of pathos. He holds his vocal notes just an extra beat longer and some nice Brent contributions in the back half. The drums come in hot after a nice NFA. A really nice version

This one should get more upvotes after DaP47. A compact, menacing NFA. Glad I found it.

Wonderful He's gone. Both laid back and jammy. This second set alternately has some beautiful soft moments and some cooking rock and roll.

Stumbled upon this one today - really lovely version sandwiched in between some heavy duty jamming

This is a once played song from a concert whose reels have just been returned to the vault. We should get a release soon. Preceded by Mystery Train. Shame these two didn't stick - good concert tunes
