Rollicking and hard-charging good time set closer after a brain-melting Playin'.

In spite of muffled sound in need of a cleanup, this one has all the swagger and triumph of the best of '72. BTW fans take heed!

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Dallas Memorial Auditorium

Surprised not to see this here. The trans has extra oomph to it and the band sails along in perfect sync. Great fun.

Pristine and fun. There's a cogent, almost album-tight quality to it.

Austin Municipal Auditorium

The mix is off at first, vocals lost, but hang in there and you'll hear one of Jerry's most heavy metal solos on Loser ever. Absolute shredder.

Jerry's precision fretwork all over around under and through Bobby's vocal sections make this one a favorite for me. Perfect guitar fillagree.

Dane County Coliseum

Wow. No like, "WOW", oh man. Mind blown, totally wow, man. Just wow.
Playin' In The Band
Aug. 6, 1974
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.
