Nice melodies from Jerry, hot Phil soloing, then a unique mellow and spacey segue into Wharf Rat

Tight version; jam has bounce, pizzaz, and energy spilling all over the place...these '74 Scarlets are a breed all their own!

^ What he said. Some of the best Eyes soloing around...a top version of '73 without a doubt!

Definitly agree! The China>Rider, Playing, Here Comes Sunshine, and the whole 2nd set from He's Gone thru Morning Dew are superb.

This version is speedy, jazzy, and very tasty. Not quite the legend of 5/26 but definitely one of the best of '73.

the "Orange Tango" jam has a really cool middle-eastern(?) type flavor and definitely makes this version for me.
