another spicy jambalaya rendering from this configuration. Tight and loose simultaneously with excellently intuitive coasting byway jamming.

barrels in and kicks ass. Definitely some first show of the year magic on this. Revives the blues/soul energy of set 1 to leave us smilin' and dancin

Thrilling and ominous. gets totally cranial, still retaining the pitb main ten for the duration. Excellent tonal space.

Wharf Rat

Red Rocks Amphitheatre

definitive 3.0 this chunky and jazzy Wharf. deranged shooting star snarler jog through dive bars
Loser

Civic Center

Slaying. Phil bombs. Throat-slicing intensity on the chorus. And the solo is flaming. Perfect early loser
Cumberland Blues

Wembley Empire Pool

the live LP version, from my birthday show. Seminal for this era. you can blast this and just explode into country-fusion craziness!! Quite the version.

Clean, lean, pristine. Chomp on the radiation, the alignment, of this.
Cumberland Blues

Civic Center

We're back in 1973 now, opening the night with a heady Cumberland. Quality is pretty shitty for some reason as others have noted but come on, hot version!!!!!
