Tender, soothing, perfect. Brimming with firecracker... jerry rips a mean fret-flyer or two

down to business in the mines of emotion. Tight and incredible. A gem of a intuitive version with lots of rootsy charisma and swingin' euphoria..

Slow and serious. Mickey is masterful as is the overall tone control.Solo could have had more satisfying crescendo, fun lowkey set 1 vibe

gobsmackingly propulsive, stands with the best, most fluid and excitingly spritely stranger jams. Must-hear.

Truckin'

my favorite truckin' up there with the 5/19/74 one. Three trucksplosions, the first one is technically botched at the climax but jerry insistingly, reassuringly leads them into going back for a second, even more crescendoing time, as if to remind us of what the group is capable of, still louder, and they land it, the impact bracing for miles around the perimeter of this nuclear trucksplosion', followed by a third trucksplosion with a minor modal jam (something. beethoven or the Romantic orchestrals of the time would have put) into improv
