Very beautiful, almost sparse playing on this one. It's different than most from '74 but it works.

Short but high octane version with Billy and Jerry crushing it...the jam rises to a furious climax!

Unusual version that starts out very quiet and minimalistic, alternating throughout from hot to cold. Jerry and Billy are really tearing it up!

Killer Nobody's jam in which Jerry apparently breaks a string, but Keith steps up very nicely. Some subtle Other One teases towards the end of one.

The extended jams after "stronger than dirt" have some of their best interplay ever

This Playin has an absolutely insane meltdown and the transition leading up to Wharf Rat is really sweet. Phil is outstanding as well...what a great version!

These first Scarlets are so effing tight and packed with energy!
