Sparkles. Has an electric country sound that just crackles with energy. Perfect execution.

An ultimate performance. Jerry's voice is in perfect shape. Powerful, chilling version that will make your hair stand on end. Shamefully overlooked.

Powerful tight playing. C.Miller cleanup, boys playing the 1st set like their lives depended on it. Peak Dead.

Note for note precise, beautiful playing. The outro is lovely and doesn't descend into madness. Donna gives it a nice gospel touch.

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.

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.

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

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