Cumberland Blues

With that fresh brilliance of its time. The show starts with country bluegrass, goes blue, then psychedelicore: A perfect '70 combi.

Hot burner, with Pig's voice just perfect. He drives everyone to higher and higher vocal heights.

I love the hard chargers, but this one is different: Almost mellow with a slow simmering groove. Cool, not hot. Check it out.

A real surprise and treat after the finger blistering Dancin'. Right now becomes my favorite ever.
Dancin' in the Streets

In as close to a flawless show as this one, the Dancin' really stands out for its incredibly shredding good time vibe.

Woke up with Jack Straw in my mind, came here for this and BANG! Absolutely ripping version. Great stuff.

Faster than others from the era, but never rushed: Finds a really nice pocket and grooves there. High octane indeed.

Has it all. Nice to get into this whole show, not just the immortal PITB.
