Speedy late 70's precision. Hot relic from a sweet run. (also, trying to add 7.4.89 and keep getting an error message. Version needs recognition)

Baller Jerry track that made the jump to the big leagues. They lock in nicely to this version

I have an odd love affair for this song and Euro '72 was its peak. UK a few nights later is far superior, but this one certainly has sufficient gusto

Oh man, this is flawless! Grisman with some amazing fills on mandolin. Such a bute!
