The whole band creates a seamless, burbling groove. (Listen for Phil pushing through the small spaces Bobby leaves.) Mesmerizing.

The short, country-style numbers sound so good in this set. There's a lot of good music in this show even before the big jams arrive.

Coliseum Arena

Easy upvote for the mesmerizing post-song jam, which at times sounds plucked from an extended Truckin’ > Other One transition circa ’72.

Madison Square Garden
