High energy, and remarkable that they could pull it off after an hour of continuous jamming. Great show all round.

In spite of equipment stalls the set really takes off here. Great Miller mix showcases Bobby in the left channel. Beautiful version.

Keith is high in the mix and it's just brilliant. The NFA was a bit sloppy, but they nail the GDTRFB and the outro.

Fast and loose, with great Keith barrelhouse fills. Jerry doesn't want to quit. Good fun.

Mind Left Body Jam
July 31, 1974
Dillon Stadium

A bit faster with a stronger back beat, this one stands out for its forward motion - not a 'lay back and watch the clouds float by' MLB - and then it tricks you into a slow bluesy mode before the Spanish Jam. They were clearly having fun inventing new melodies, moods, and places in the jam.
Bird Song
Nov. 19, 1972
Hofheinz Pavilion

Certainly rates higher than its present two votes! Giver 'er a listen heads: This is a glorious adventurous beauty right on the cusp of transition from the '72 to the '73 sound. The real deal.
Eyes Of The World

Dillon Stadium

Relentless driving jam of intense musicianship: It just never gives an inch, then suddenly floats like a dandelion seed on a summer breeze into a magical China Doll. Boy did these guys know how to treat their audience well, that's for sure.
The Other One

Hollywood Palladium

First (?) WRS quote in the re-entry after MAMU. Unmistakably there in the first minute. Cool to know they were working out what would become Wake of the Flood material as early as this.

Phil zone heaven on a version very different from others of its time - like they decided to experiment with it just for fun. Underloved, different tempo, different vibe. Lots of fun.
