Low key and smooth - a real treat. Show is known for its great DS>SS>11, but give this a listen. Nice.

Hurts Me Too

Lane Community College

Despite the lo-fi tape, this has got to be some of the deepest blues they ever played. Don't let the murky recording turn you off - it's worth it.

Cruising along with 3rd° swagger when it suddently hits high gear and <BOOM!>, you become the Pig, and it feels good.

Openers this good let you know exactly how amazing the show will be. 17.04 isn't just the best Good Lovin' of all time but an all round killer show.

Manhattan Center

Simply the best one I know. Energetic uptempo rockin' and rollin' with a hard driving bass player named PHIL!

Jerry's precision fretwork all over around under and through Bobby's vocal sections make this one a favorite for me. Perfect guitar fillagree.

Wow. No like, "WOW", oh man. Mind blown, totally wow, man. Just wow.

Roosevelt Stadium

Deeply inventive. The influence of Miles is there, along with a other "fusion" music of the time. So many places in this one, the Scarlet is just glorious in between. And yes, the outro is jump out of your chair hand-clappingly good.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Dane County Coliseum

Transition has some beautifully inventive rhythmic interplay between Jerry and Phil bridging the two songs nicely.
Truckin'

Hollywood Bowl

Kicks hard and doesn't disappoint. High energy at the top of a mind-melting 2nd set jam-a-thon.
