Buzzing and crackling and just a wee bit manic. Early 1st set and the party is raging. Fun and wild.

Perfect fun, with great organ work and the '70 sound. Pig says, "I'd thank you to not use no dirty words in the public" which cracks me up, too.

Fast and relentless. This one has power behind it.

Deep and dark with strong emotional jams. Lots of great Peters around this time.

This is from '74, not '73. No show on this date, as far as I know.

May and June '74 are both pretty awesome. They were definitely putting something new into the song during this time. This is a great version, interesting and exploratory - coming out of a killer Eyes, too.

June '74 is Scarlet all over. Listen to a few from this era in sequence and you hear how they're still discovering where they want to go with it. This one has great energyand bounce. Perfect.

This is really the sweetest version I know. I've always felt this song was under-appreciated, but that it played an important role in smoothing out the bumps at the end of especially wicked jams. This is the one for that. Just perfect.

Fun good times Scarlet with his royal Philness.
