Elegance defined. Some of the sweetest vocal harmonies of the era. Nailed it.

Phil and Pigpen interplay like few others I know. Brilliant and clear, with a thumping good vibe.

Show is all highlights, and NFA-GDRFB-NFA caps it in style. Listen to the whole set for full effect and feel the love.

Kesey video after 12 min. of Ollin Arrageed, worth every second: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMAKJfuP4II

Jerry's precision fretwork all over around under and through Bobby's vocal sections make this one a favorite for me. Perfect guitar fillagree.
The Music Never Stopped

Dane County Coliseum

Wow. No like, "WOW", oh man. Mind blown, totally wow, man. Just wow.
Playin' In The Band

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
Feb. 15, 1973
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.
