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.

yeah Dick knew exactly what was going on. Honestly I don't even care that they didn't do complete shows with these releases, because i know if it's on one of these Cd's, it's going to be a great version. You can just pretend it's a complete show. I like doing archive.org and youtube sleuth work just as much as anybody, but some nights it's nice to just throw one of these on spotify. And then worst case you just head on over to the archive or relisten and switch between SBDs and Matrixes until you get the right punch. Now what i really need to do is get a tape deck and start buying some tapes off of some heads.... That would probably be the best
