The Other One

Whether it's the 16th or 23rd, it's a killerdillerthriller. Ripping version, with a perfect transition from Truckin'.

Energy and power that struts its stuff. This show seems direly overlooked. Very nice mix and sound quality.

Beautiful jam and transition. The mix shows off Bobby nicely, which is rare for the era. His contribution is beautiful here. Enjoy.

Sultry swaggering deeply opiated vibe, with a hot harp solo. Was this Pig or Will Scarlet?

Exceptional version, slightly mellower tempo, with great harmonies and tight jamming. Surprised it's not here yet.

Brilliant soloing. Great version.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

This is one of the finest China-Riders I've ever heard with a smooth transition aided by fact that they stream as one song. Utica March '73 does seem a bit underappreciated and 22 March has fast precise and exploratory playing all over its great setlist.

Short and sweet.
Mexicali Blues

Great version. Throw-away or not, when the boys are as tight and energetic as this, it bodes well for the rest of the show. El Paso falls in the same category, and it too is just on blazingly good during this set.

Agreed - the show is underrated, maybe because so many of the jams are of an understated, cool-mellow vibe instead of being hot and fast.... Not this one, though. The meltdown in this Star is a blisteringly weird one.
