The connective tissue between a legendary S>F and a very underrated '81 Terrapin, this is a mellow exploration that unfolds beautifully

Indianapolis State Fair Coliseum

The mix isn't the best, but the performance is stellar. Definitely worth checking out.

Warfield Theater

Part of an unusual sequence between Tennessee Jed and The Wheel. A standard version for the era, elevated by focused playing and smooth transitions
