Cumberland Blues
Super long intro with Jerry smokin on guitar and Billy jumpin on drums, not to be missed. Repeated plays guaranteed!!!

Scarlet Begonias
A unique, interesting version due to the "china white". Has an almost country flavor with what sounds like a lot of slide guitar. A cool jam for sure.
8
Eyes Of The World
Unusual version that starts out very quiet and minimalistic, alternating throughout from hot to cold. Jerry and Billy are really tearing it up!

Black Throated Wind
Looser than 18.09.74, but more intense in its buildup and climax. Wait for it, it slow-rises then comes on like a tsunami.

Brokedown Palace
Love the non encore versions being part of aset gives it a slightly different feel. This is a great version no matter where it would have lied

Stella Blue
A stunner they could deliver so much power in set one. Cant believe the power they could deliver at any time.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Kinda mellow but kinda groovy. Nice northbound train vocals

Row Jimmy
Billy's doing some interesting stuff on the drums here! And excellent solo from Jer! Vocals too!

Greatest Story Ever Told
Weird, spacey version. Terrible start. Billy's sleeping. Jerry's floating around. Donna starts vomiting everywhere. Keith's at the carnival.
