Totally overlooked show, but blazing hot and extraordinary jams. Everything here that make '73 what it is.

Me and My Uncle

Playing down to their last allowed second, the boys squeeze a tight (top-40 levels) hard rockin' version. Killer end to a great little show.

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'
July 21, 1974
Hollywood Bowl
Kicks hard and doesn't disappoint. High energy at the top of a mind-melting 2nd set jam-a-thon.
