Hot soloing and '71 levels of intensity. Listenable in spite of some tape wobble and distortion. Fun to watch H2H expanding during this era.

Headphones only very rough AUD, but one of the rare electric funky Deep Elems. Historical rarity.

Pity about the C- sound quality, because a new tape of this would show us a real corker.

Final jam in an enormous show. Just killer. Follows the one NRPS set you need to hear. Whatta world.

Through the AUD fuzz and chatter comes a beautifully rendered vocal performance. Enjoy this hidden treasure.

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.
