Like all your best friends sitting around the campfire, strumming and pickin' by starlight. Have a sip or a toke and enjoy....

Really lovely here, part of one of the warmest, most intimate acoustic sets of 1970.

Jerry and Bob bite down hard and tear into this one with muscle. Their interplay lightens up and whoops! We find ourselves in Stephen.

Anthemic beauty. Great ensemble singing and powerful pacing to it. Then Janis steps on stage for Love Light, so there's that.

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

Wow. No like, "WOW", oh man. Mind blown, totally wow, man. Just wow.

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.

Transition has some beautifully inventive rhythmic interplay between Jerry and Phil bridging the two songs nicely.

Kicks hard and doesn't disappoint. High energy at the top of a mind-melting 2nd set jam-a-thon.
