Bouncy as they come, the crowd goes crazy and Jerry just sounds like he's having fun

Beefy C.C. Rider, Brent laying on the hammond, a listenable slide solo by Bobby, all tied together with some Phil Bombs

Out of Hell in a Bucket, this one is fueled by Brent dancing all over the Hammond. HIGH energy

Epic as ever. Jerry shred-fest, Bobby sending it on the vocals, Brent laying on the hammond. They bring it down before one more eruption to end it.

Jerry low in the mix but is ripping it up, Keith really shines in this one, doesn’t miss a note

This one slowly chugs with a feeling of impending doom with the story

Bluesy and rockin'

I must be a stranger to late 74 FOTD's but this groove is sick!

This really REALLY rips. Agreed ^ the recording quality is really stellar. Pig is HOT, Phil is chunky and phat, Bobby takes a solo that's fast and tight, and Jerry comes in and takes it away, shredding it up. This is a must listen

First DS without TC I believe? Him missing leaves a little bit of a whole in this one, but ironically TOTALLY adds to the ambience and quiet parts of the jam. Spooky.
