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

Kiel Auditorium

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.

Strong country kicker. Wolf's leads peal out over Keith's barrelhouse piano accompaniment.

Aka Lunatic Preserve. A hair-raising, spontaneous meltdown bridging SOTM and Miracle.

Very substantial jam develops out of the AWBYGN passage before the return to NFA.

Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication

Uptown Theater

Fresh, rowdy, and fast. The way the band (mostly) keeps this from going off the rails is both thrilling and impressive.

Exquisitely played, and the sound of this Seamons matrix is to die for.
The Other One

County Coliseum

This brain-rattling is exactly what I needed to get through a trying afternoon.

Volcanic eruption. Cataclysmic.
Good Lovin'

Fillmore East (Late Show)

There’s a lot to love here despite the relative brevity, not least of which is that sassy late ’69 – early ’70 cowbell I can’t get enough of.
