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

Philadelphia Civic Center

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

Palais Des Sports

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

Indianapolis State Fair Coliseum

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.

Kezar Stadium

Legendary warp-speed jazz fusion jamming. Keith sounds like Herbie Hancock at times. I also dig how they revisit the "Stronger than Dirt" theme at the very end.

Kiel Auditorium

Whole band is absolutely ON FIRE, one of the hottest of Fall '73.

Lots of lyrical flubs but ol' Jer makes up for it with some stunningly good playing...definitely dig
