Me and My Uncle
Stayin' Alive tease to open and significant teases by Keith throughout. Most interesting version by far - (teases continue into a romping Big River)
16
Black Peter
Outstanding NFA>Black Peter. One of the cooler late 70's versions. Jerry voice is so tender!
34
Promised Land
A decent Promised Land till the end, when the band just hits another gear completely, kicking off a superb show.
5
Close Encounters Jam
"space" after drums before not fade away. Maybe just jerry messin around with the mu-tron but sounds like encounters to me.
7
Fire On The Mountain
Jerry's Mutron magic and Bobby's noodling slide make this version unique. So much energy here.
17
Drums -> Space
I don't usually think about a "heady" version here but Damn!! this some trippy stuff leading into a great NFA
