3
Big River
Great version, check out Brent's work on the keys.
4
Big Railroad Blues
Over the top.
5
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Punctilious transition; fine Rider solos around different verse placement
2
Cassidy
Sweet, sweet, sweet
1
Althea
“You may be the fate of Ophelia.” Don’t sleep on this. Early 80s need more love!
1
Little Red Rooster
Dirty, muddy, blues
1
Let It Grow
Lyrics aren’t perfect, but the jam is beyond perfection. Really in awe.
2
Samson and Delilah
Band false starts a couple times but man this smokes!
1
Dire Wolf
Despite the lack of vocals at the very beginning this is a great laid back Dire Wolf. The Frost is a nice place to space your face (~):)
