Band's tight; Great honey sound, especially from Phil, Bobby sings it well

Madison Square Garden

There are parts that aren't so sharp, however there is a nice full band contribution that lasts until Bobby comes back in. Box set sounds nice!

the tempo is slightly slower; gives it a stateliness. Brent's organ interplay with the slide guitar works, and Jerry comes in and slays.

Clean, laid back and almost restrained; a clinic on less is more and a Brent keyboard showcase

Love the back and forth between Jerry and Brent! The Rhythm Devils sound tight and the Wake up to find out release sounds beautiful.
Here Comes Sunshine

Kezar Stadium

Two great jam segments; really immersive, full-band sound
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
June 9, 1973
RFK Stadium

I like it! Tighter than many China Cats, love any Feelin' Groovy, any where any time, and this one is short but sweet and interesting. Rider comes on strong and stately with contributions from everyone, especially Keith...honestly Parrott says it best at the top!

The jam after the tune proper?! Rock n' Roll like a train just chugging right through, no stops!

The whole band is churning honey! Bobby and Jerry interplay tight and entertaining.
